Re: Cat 7 Cabling
I imagine all flat cables are patch cables unless they specifically say crossover cable.
However in most cases I think the device will adapt accordingly these days.

Re: Cat 7 Cabling
Patch cables are the norm, cross over cables were primary used for PC to PC without a router/hub etc.

Re: Cat 7 Cabling
Amazon is a good place.
Cat7 will make it a bit more future proof.

Re: Cat 7 Cabling
I use Comms Express for all my patch leads, must admit last ones I bought were CAT5 they do for what I need.
