Really Cat 7? in Computers & Accessories

I have a 50 foot reel of this flat cable running through a couple of rooms to an HDBASET adapter. The HDBASET adapter powers the projector with an HDBASET connector. I've noticed intermittent cabling issues, which are often resolved with a little wiggling of the cables. I have a feeling this cable is not really CAT7 compliant and if so it would be interesting to see their certification. at my length. I have a feeling that conductors closer to the 30 AWG size range are used as the cable is very flexible but at the same time very easy to break. You cannot shorten this cable and plug in your own RJ45 connector as the internal wiring is so thin. For the average consumer, this stuff probably works fine, but I'd like to know if anyone has tried running 100Gbps. or 10 Gbps over this Ethernet cable.

Pros
  • βœ”High Compatibility: Class F channel and Cat7 cable, compatible with Cat5, Cat5e and Cat6. Class F has less crosstalk and system noise than Class E due to intelligent shielding.
Cons
  • Skimpy Instructions
