    Is It Possible To Attach CAT5E RJ45 Connectors to Flat CAT7 Cable?


    Hi - I am trying to sort out my son's network cabling in a new extension to his property. He bought a 50mtr roll of Flat CAT7 cable which had what looked like gold-plated RJ45 connectors on each end. During the laying of the cable, from his router in another room, he cut them off and has asked me to see what I can do now that the cable has been laid to attach new connectors. From an old project at my property I have a Philex 76601HS Crimping tool and a box of 76110HS RJ45 Connectors and Boots. I looked last night and it seems the boots and connectors fit the flat cable but the Crimping tool and connectors are designed to be used with CAT5E cable.

    My question is, if I use the connectors and boots and attach them to the CAT7 cable, will they work?

    I appreciate that I'll probably only get CAT5E bandwidth throughput but if this is the case, then I know that will be more than adequate as the cable was bought for future-proofing given its non accessability now that it's been laid. And he's only going to use the network in his extension for Sky Q and his old PC which he uses for browsing alone. The extensive CAT5E cables in my property work very well indeed and I do a lot of heavy network video playback which is faultless.

    So if I strip the outer sheaf off carefully, followed by careful removal of the outer shielding from the four pairs, to get the 8 wires into the connector (in the right order *Smile ) will I be good to go?

    I hope some knowledgable person can answer please

    Is It Possible To Attach CAT5E RJ45 Connectors to Flat CAT7 Cable?

    CAT7 cables worth it?

    I use Cat7 when I'm going from my router up to the top floor of the house where there's a switch for my office. I use cat7 because it wasn't much more expensive, and it has the really nice metal reinforcements on the rj-45's.

    I don't -need- cat7, but I did want the best cable for the job, since its in-wall. Otherwise, a good cat5e is more than adequate for home users.
