I just bought a home internally wired with Cat7 in each room. Terminating these suckers is a pain. One thing in this video I do NOT recommend is stripping the foil layer. It is too easy to cut too far and nick the wiring. It's much easier just to unwrap the foil from each pair by hand, peel back the foil, and trim it manually with small clippers. Otherwise, that is one killer tool you're using! Way easier than the traditional punchdown methods.
Dang that looked a lot easier than I thought it'd be. Despite the foil, it looks far easier than individually punching wires down and worrying about them slipping out of place, or busting a notch if you aren't careful enough.
Cat7 and Cat7A will not be a future standard. Now the future is Cat8.1 and Cat8.2 (Max 30m in DataCenter) Will the Tera connector handle Cat8.2 I think so (Personly)
From what I understand, cat7 and cat8 can be terminated using shielded rj45 connectors... so it’s really just an issue of the wire rating (which is mostly a matter of twist rate on the pairs).
This channel is aimed towards professionals and not end consumers. That is why this is normally sold to Bang & Olufsen customers via a Bang & Olufsen retailer and installer. You can try to reach out to your local retailer and ask about your options.
@Blair Aquilia CAT7 is not a IEEE approved technology. You go blind on this. Cat6, cat6A and Cat8 are approved and recommended. Cat6A is way cheaper and do the same. Also compatible with many brands ....
It seems I may have found the same tool. They are quite expensive, too. It seems that they usually go for $220. www.ebay.com/p/633649291 All sold out on DigiKey.
