Will an RJ45 connector work with a CAT.7 cable?
First things first, there are two well-known solutions for Cat.7A or Cat.7 connectors, TERA and GG45 connectors. Cat.7A cable is rated for transmission frequencies of up to 1000 MHz and supports 10 Gbps. Category 7A has been designed as a standard for Gigabit Ethernet in 100 meters of structured copper cabling. In this article, you could know Cat.7A and Cat.7 basics and also refer to the compatibility of Cat.7A and Cat.7 connectors. For the sake of cutting down repetition, Cat.7A will cover Cat.7A and Cat.7.
Well-Know Solution for Cat.7A/ 7 Connector： TERA, And GG45
TERA is a shielded connector for use with Cat.7A twisted-pair copper cables, developed by the Siemon Company. This connector has a different footprint from the common RJ45 connector. Another solution is the GG45 connector, it is compatible with the normal 8p8c RJ45 plug. Moreover, the GG45 connector has four additional contacts that support new high-speed Cat.7 for 600 MHz and Cat.7A for 1000 MHz networks. But because of the cabling system compatibility, CRXCONEC provides an RJ45 connector (8P8C) with a tail clip and field termination plug for your 10 gigabit Ethernet networking system.
RJ45 Connector (8P8C) With Tail Clips for Cat.7/ Cat.7A Cable
The tail clips design RJ45 connectors are the economic solution for Cat.7A larger cable from 22-24 AWG, providing three different wire holes 1.2mm, 1.5mm, and 1.6mm to fit with the different kinds of solid cables. You must check the insulation size before use. If choosing the improper RJ45 connector when it cannot hold the wire insulation properly, may lead to the disconnection of the system.
MPTL Field Termination Plug for Cat.7/ Cat.7A Cable
Applied in high-bandwidth wireless access points and other IP-enabled devices such as IP cameras and infrastructure monitoring. For MPTL applications (Modular plug Termination Link), CRXCONEC Field Termination RJ45 Connector will be a good solution, it is widely used in on-site installation and can fit with larger 22 to 24 AWG cables and support POE+ applications. The superior transmission performance is above your expectation. Moreover, CRXCONEC also offers Five Directions Shielded Tool-Free RJ45 Plug that can meet different working areas requirement, especially in narrow space wiring.
