    Cat7 is utter waste of money and it’s not a fully ratified standard. Cat6 is definitely ok and fine for 10M up to the distance likely to be used in a normal home.

    Sure but really you only need CAT6 like for ones with S/FTP and not UTP Digitus and 1aTTack.de are good cables to go for.

    also don't get the Slim or flat cables
