I have had no problems with using the cable for ethernet transfers up to my contracted rate of 75Mbps on fibre broadband.A wired ethernet system allows you to avoid clashes with your neighbours' WiFi channels/bandwidth and gives much improved connection speeds.If, as I did, you want to chop off the ends and install an ethernet system in your house, providing female sockets for patch cables to plug into, then my advice is that it is best to avoid doing this. This cable will fit in very tight spaces, under the edge of carpets, under doors, round tight corners without problems.However if you must do this, please note that you will be releasing the cable supplier from his warranty obligation. Here are my tips from my experience:1. examine carefully the very useful diagram of the cable's makeup. You can find this together with the photos of the cable on the Amazon website. Note how very small the seven copper inner conductors are. Don't attempt the following unless you have very good eyesight and steady hands.2. you won't find any female 'jacks' for Cat 7 for sale, but you can modify Cat 6 pieces to bring about the same characturistics. The back of the faceplate carrying the jack, and the wall box it sits in, can be sprayed with a nickel screening compound, which protects delicate electronic components from solar radiation and stray cosmic particles, see Fig 3. The strands leading from the points of termination may be shielded from electromagnetic sources by wrapping them in copper tape, see Figs 2 and 3. Earthing of the bare 'drain' and shielding must be in place at either end of the cable to dissipate stray pulses of e.m. radiation,see Fig 3.3. the individual copper inner conductors are so delicate that they will fracture with very little applied stress. The maximum stress that they come under is just after the point of contact in the vees of the termination, and at a point where the strands may turn through 90 degrees and have to carry the loading on the cable.4. The cutting of the strands is dependant on the exit position of the cable from the jack. If the cable is to exit at 90 degrees from the axis of the jack (Fig 3) then the strands can be cut in equal lengths, but if the cable exits along the axis (out of the 'back') of the jack (Figs 1 and 2) then the strand lengths must be cut so that no strand is taking more loading than any other.5. The obvious way to connecting the strands is the very well used punchdown method that has been in use in telephony systems for many years. The success rate for me for using this method on this cable was about 5%. The reason is that the insulation of the strand is such a large part that the chance of one of the seven copper conductors making contact with the terminating vee is small.6. Do not attempt to strip off the insulation by mechanical means; this is fairly obvious: the seven copper conductors will fracture.7. My method is to burn off the insulation, which can be achieved quite safely and in a controlled manner by using a night light to provide the heat and ignition, and gripping the strand with a standard, steel nosed set of pliers (see Fig 4). The insulation will burn from the cut end of the strand all the way to the pliers, whence the steel of the pliers transmits the heat away, preventing the burning to progress further along the strand. There is an added and very important bonus too, since there is an accumulated amount of insulation in the very place where the maximun stress in the strand occurs; this accumulation of insulation material will help to prevent fracture of the copper conductors.8. I arranged that the length of the burning, exposing the copper conductors, was such as to allow the conductors to be turned through 180 degrees (bent back on themselves) to give twice as many possible contact points with the termination vees.9. I also 'tinned' (applied solder to) the resulting mellee of copper conductors to improve the chances of a good contact being made.This improved the success rate of overall terminations to about 95%. A continuity checker was used to seek out any bad terminations, followed by remedial action as necessary.During the summer of 2018 I used both Cat 6 and Cat 7 flat cables, from this supplier, for different projects. The Cat 7 cable is larger: 11% wider and 20% thicker; it uses much more insulation, and its copper inner conductors are half the diameter (0.1mm) and so more liable to fracture. It is more difficult to fit through and round obstacles and the terminals are 28% longer. However I actually found it easier to terminate the Cat 7 cable (using the above precedure for both cables).
