Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.

This cable works as advertised, it is sturdy and well made as CAT7 standard cable should be to support the advertised speeds. The cable is well made but is flexible so it is easier to route it around the bends. The connectors are RJ45 and they work well across devices as that is the standard internet connector, and they have nice plastic tabs which shouldn't break as easy. As for the performance, I have no devices to test the rated speed for this cable, it is very fast and most of the devices cannot support it yet. Most modern-day motherboards come with 1 Gbps and high-end ones come with 10 Gbps integrated network chipset which is very nice, so to utilize it fully you need to buy the high-end motherboard or a PCI network card that supports such speed. If you aim to future proof your network with ready to roll cables, this one is priced pretty decently and is much faster than commonplace CAT5e so you might as well buy this cable for it to finally shine in 5 years time.
I always got myself CAT7 or CAT6 ethernet because there are so many low-quality CAT5e ethernet cables on the market and they really hurt my Internet performance. I am quite surprised to see that Amazon Basics can offer CAT7 cables at such a low cost. When I plug in directly into two of my PCs with a 1Gb ethernet card to test it, the latency and throughput can almost reach the max. So I am very happy with this purchase. However, when opening the package, I noticed that the cable was tightly wound within the box. For me, this is a bit of a concern as I would have preferred if the cable arrived with less curvature. However, despite this initial observation, the throughput and latency for the cable seem OK to me.
I found Amazon Basics great quality for the price so far - but CAT7 is a bit OP (over-powered) and expensive - unless you really are running 10Gbe copper and need such a cable. But on a deal I said, let's try it.
Like other CAT7 cables it is pretty thick as it is STP (each of the 4 pairs shielded) not just shielded (FTP) and hopefully using AWG27 copper wire not CCA or thinner like cheaper cables. Thus routing may be an issue as you are not meant to bend it too much and too far. [BTW - in the box it comes pretty wound up which concerned me a bit as I would have preferred less bent.]
I do have a single 10Gbe RJ45 copper card but I'm not using a 10Gbe RJ45 switch but it has passed frequency diagnostics. It will naturally do 2.5 or 5Gbe with no issues.
But unless cheap there's not much point to get a CAT7 cable unless you really think you will upgrade over 1Gbe in the next few years.
One of the main draws of Cat-7 / Cat-8 are the additional shielding and twists, reducing cross-talk, allowing the frequency to get higher than earlier categories and transmit more data.
Other Cat-7 cables on this site are thicker, having separate foil sheaths internally, pair-sheaths (in some cases) and an outer foil sheath beneath a braided armoured shield on the outside.
This one is flat and bendy, and therefore has much less shielding than "proper" Cat-7. Also, being flat, it means that bending it around complex corners can be a little irritating as the corners pop back out.
However, in tests, these cables were getting a solid 800Megabit over a theoretical maximum of 1Gbit on my kit. Given protocol overheads, it's not the fastest cable I've got, but it loses out maybe only 5% to 10% on the 'fully shielded' variants.
For a basics product, priced to match, it's pretty darn good, all things considered! Well worth the money.
Cable works as expected. I have not been able to test the throughput, but delivery, packaging and the price were good. Based on my initial experience I would order again.
Amélioration notable et sans équivoque après avoir remplacé d'anciens câbles en CAT 5 par ceux-ci de CAT 7. C'est évident : transport des paquets du signal très nettement amélioré. Longueur "inhabitelle" idéalement adaptée à mon installation. Parfait pour moi.
