Why are you such a pleb?

Cat 5e is the cable of the people
I just bought a cat6 cable. It's 75 feet long and I paid like twelve dollars. It's also pinku.

I'll be dead by the time my village in central europe gets more than 5Mbp/s, let alone fiber
>inb4 countryside fag
>>53698949
why didn't you opt for 6a? they're not that much more expensive and are (technically) the latest recognized standard
>>53698913
Cat6 and even Cat5e can do 10G
What would I want Cat7 for?

are there really that many morons on Amazon? Cat7 isn't even an officially recognized standard, 6a is the newest. hell even then 5e should be fine for almost everyone's use cases for the forseeable future
>>53698913
unfortunately replacing the Cat5 cables in my home would mean breaking open all the walls.
>>53699001
CAT7 IS WEBSCALE ANON
>>53699015
what the hell are you doing? maybe if you plug and unplug it two times a day in that month
>>53699054
>falling for the "inside the walls" meme
>>53698913
Fucking liars.
Cat7 is NOT specified for RJ45 connectors. Anyone selling "cat 7" cables with RJ45 connectors is a liar.
>>53699015
Networking equipment is usually set-and-forget, unless you're a retard. Why are you constantly plugging and unplugging ethernet cables?

There have been some accidents in the past when retards thought they needed the best, triple-shielded Cat7 there is, but then don't know how to properly ground the shielding and end up frying their electronics and starting electric fires when charge creeps along the shielding.
The best thing is that plain old I shielded Cat5e can do Gigabit just fine, and even 10G unless you have to run single loops longer than 100 meters or have so much interference that you need shielding because you live inside a fucking nuclear power plant (protip: use fiber then)
>>53699274
>I shielded
Meant to say unshielded of course
>>53699119
>>53699145
the different colors make it easier to follow the cables to their respective rooms
cat7 doesnt even have a final standard that everyone will abide by. only an idiot would run any drops with those
cat 6 is fine, especially since 10 gig hardware is so fucking expensive you will probably never run it in a home environment
>>53699083
Holy shit that looks terrible.
>2016
>unironically using pleb cables
lol I knew /g/ was plebicus maximus but this is too much
>>53699322
To be clear, Cat7 is actually finalized as a standard, but it's only recognized by ISO at the moment.
I'd still stay away from it though and just go with 6a for newer drops.

>>53699274
how do you properly ground the shielding?
>>53699430

Nothing makes me cringe worse than those people who lug their laptops around the office to 'take notes', apparently pen+notepads aren't a thing anymore.
Don't get me started about people acting all douchey on their laptops during meetings.

I ment more like literally place to place, not inside of the office
>>53699535
Connect the rack or the patch panel with the equipotential bonding bar, which should be near your fuse box.
If you don't know what you're doing, better call an electrician. Or use at least unshielded cables
>>53699595
>implying people don't move files across their own network

That really clarifies things.
>>53699595

lmao you mean you don't even have 10Gbit WAN?
How are you enjoying your third world lifestyle?
>>53699083
lol I remember being an apprentice at college and laughing at some lad who put tray work up in his kitchen and ran armored cable for metal clad sockets everywhere. He then put the job into his NVQ lvl 4 and passed.
>>53698913
>he didnt wire his home with sfp+ and fiber years ago
>laughinggrills.jpg
looks like we all know who the real pleb is
>>53699119
That could be a new fashion for homes, good idea, you just couldn't have ass it like any style of course.

Media streaming wise, downloading to storage is dead. File sharing wise you don't need 8Gb+ to move a 2k Excel file to your dads computer.

Make more sense please.
>File sharing wise you don't need 8Gb+ to move a 2k Excel file to your dads computer.
A fallacy.
I have a NAS on which I store my data and another NAS for backups.

Have you ever thought about establishing a internet infrastructure in your village? It's not as hard as it sounds.

He'd also have to 'establish' some kind of reliable power grid
>>53699820
You first.
>>53698913
Didn't read the thread but 7 is pointless with those jacks.
Which is superior?
>>53699083
Honestly, I sort or like it. Maybe not in my living room, but in my autism cave where all my networking is? Definitely.
>>53698913
>have working cables now

shiggydiggy.
UTP is on its absolute last legs, and even shielded twisted pair is an expensive last resort.
>using utp instead of fibre
I bet you faggots use ethernet instead of ATM too.
I have a whole two ethernet cables in my home and they're both 5e.
What's wrong with 5e? I have a 4200 sqft home and all runs are under 44 metres so they can support 10gbe
>>53700371
maybe you should have bought a smaller house so you could afford infiniband
>>53700413
That's used for interconnects between servers, I don't need it to hook up my Xbox, Wii, gayman PC, TV, security cameras, and other shit like that
>>53700413

hahahahaha, no thanks.

What's with Cat7 not being approved? Is it a reason not to get it?
Because all the wiring in my house is cat 5e and I only have a gigabit switch. Plus, the cat5e I buy is Belkin flat cable. They don't make flat cat6.
I actually do use Cat.7 Cable with Cat.6a connectors.
>>53699015
Buy and crimp the more expensive Hirose terminators.
You can't break them quite as easily, they're very sturdy.

>cat 6 is fine, especially since 10 gig hardware is so fucking expensive you will probably never run it in a home environment
This is 4chan, people feel the need for a insane amount of internal bandwidth for no apparent reason
>>53701485
As long as the run is under 44 metres CAT 5e can do 10gbe
>>53701539
How else is someone gonna move terabytes of lolicon across multiple servers in an adequate amount of time?
>>53699689

10Gbit?
Must suck being poor
>>53700162
Neither anymore since most devices can flip flop between the two
>>53699625
nope wifi user me fren
>>53701539
I actually wanted the insane shielding since the cable runs next to power lines and what not, right down an old chimney in the house (that already has a lot of cables inside).
Cat.7 cables are silly well-shielded, there is absolutely nothing showing up in the tests I was able to run.
With a poorly shielded cat5 something cable, the signal actually suffered.

Using cheap nails is Jewish compared to spending hundreds or thousands to have the cables run inside the walls? Fucking retarded memer, go back to pol
