Category 7 vs. Category 6A cabling standards
Category 7/Class F and Category 7A/Class FA refer to cabling performance standards recognized primarily in Europe but see very limited adoption globally.

This white paper compares the performance and tradeoffs of Category 6A and Category 7 and explains why Panduit recommends installation of a Category 6A / Class EA system.
