I purchased a LAN cable featuring green and orange connectors at the end, yet the inner strands are brown and blue.

is handmade cable. technically u dont need more then those coz other colors are unused, the cable u got is based on cat7 layout though based on the color positioning only ( dunno if actual cable is cat7 ) 1 White/Orange Transmit+ BI_DA+ 2 Orange Transmit- BI_DA- 3 White/Green Receive+ BI_DB+ 4 Blue Unused BI_DC+ 5 White/Blue Unused BI_DC- 6 Green Receive- BI_DB- 7 White/Brown Unused BI_DD+ 8 Brown Unused BI_DD-
It should function properly. It only supports 100Mbit at the moment. The wire placements match the specifications for that connection type. Many older devices come with it, or you can purchase it in shops, but today Gigabit—offering all eight wires—is the preferred choice. I’m impressed you can still find a 100Mbit cable from any store.
Most devices from the past five years come with affordable gigabit Ethernet routers or switches. Gigabit internet is distinct, but lacking it doesn’t rule out needing fast local networking.
The term "cat 7" layout doesn't exist; it refers to an Ethernet pinout standard. It covers cables from Cat3 up to Cat8, but achieving gigabit speeds requires all eight wires and a Cat5e or better cable. Cat7 isn't officially recognized by TIA/EIA standards, so it lacks specific electrical requirements. While it might work in some cases, it doesn't offer advantages over Cat6A for speeds beyond 10 gigabits, depending on wire quality and distance. Even with an official standard, you'd still need all eight wires because the specifications build upon each other.
