Can any one out there please tell me where i can get a cat 7 network cable from and if it is any different from the standard cat 5.

I read that for gigabit 1000 lan cards you should use this cable and it significantly helps speed on high speed adsl conections.

help me cos i realy havent got a clue on this. :guh:

Have you considered Fast Cat 5e or Cat 6 High Performance Patch Cable?
I'm using these both right now.

My direct internet connection has the Cat 6 High Performance Patch Cable. I don't see much of a difference between the both, but it is good to have the best if you can find it cheap enough.  :)

Here in the states it's about opposite, most use the Cat 5E or 6 still.
