Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?

@grm can you also compare to cheap cat5 cable and if you can do a blind test even better.

as for the claims of 10 GB/s - you will not be able to experience this speed.
any computer network card supports 1Gbps (which is 80 times less than the claim above). Capital letter is for bytes per second and low case for bits per second (8 times difference)

DSL modems speed is 15 Mbps
EDSL May go up to 100 Mbps
If you have fiber optic all the way to your house (like I do) you may get up to 1Gbps.
Still regular cat6 handles it no problem.

Cable throupoot is not an issue at all.

10 GB/s rarely seen even in data centers, may be on data fabrics but it is distributed between multiple connections.

Claim may be legit but do you need it? Can other components handle the speed? And better question - why do you need the speed, how much data do you need to move? Do the math...

Hi, acepilot71,
When I return from business, I'll attempt a blind test with a straight CAT5e compared with my new CAT7 and see if my friend can detect a difference. I will then have my friend perform the test on myself to determine if I can consistently confirm which cable is in the system and report the results here. Also, again, I have the question as to what is the difference between a 600Mhz cable and a 1000Mhz cable?
Thanks! 

I have the SOtM dCBL-CAT7 and don’t really think it makes a difference.

Yes, they make a difference, but not because “bits is bits”.  The last meter, I have been told, improves EMI rejection. Regardless of the science, I hear a difference. 

No need to A/B my Cat6 cable with the new Cat7 cable. The difference with the Cat7 was a transformation, I would never have believed it. SQ improved to a degree of significance I find hard to describe. More detail, air, articulation, speed of transients and a lower noise floor just to begin. This is truly a cable not to overlook!
