A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

A link to a site detailing the multitude of specifications throws up no real answer

If a system is wired up with cat6 appproved cable, can it be made fully cat7 standards compatible without ripping out the wiring ?
 
hi Channel hopper.

I would say no to your question, the difference between cat6 and 7 although working on 6a, is that the latter is shielded and has earth bonding

LANmark-7 will support all current and planned data applications developed for cabling up to Class F.

* All Ethernet applications including
* 1000Base-T
* 1000Base-TX
* 10GBase-T
* CATV up to 862MHz
* Any future Class F application

Installation

Ease of Installation is one of the unique features of LANmark-7 cable. Extra attention has been paid to ensure screen coverage is maintained both during and after installation. The cable has been designed specifically to offer both optimum performance and ease of termination when used in conjunction with the LANmark-7 GG45 connector.

hope this helps.
 
Thanks

Now, how easy is it to fit the connectors with all that extra shielding ?
