Thanks for sharing all the details! I understand you're considering Cat6A as a solid choice, while Cat7 has mixed opinions. You mentioned having two Cat7 cables—one flat one from years ago and another recently purchased from Amazon. You also have a Cat6 cable and a Cat6A cable. How can you test or confirm their quality? Additionally, you’re curious about ways to verify their condition and performance before buying new ones. You noted the importance of cooling options and dips for running cables through walls, especially since one cable will go above tile in your basement and another will run over tiles near the wall where a mesh router will be installed.
