I recently bought patch cables for the first time in maybe a decade. I ended up with with a Cat6a U/FTP, but the process to find out was the current "OK" cable standard was very confusing. Apparently there is a lot of "Cat7" cables that do not adhere to the standard (which do not allow for RJ45's?), which made it hard to find out what was what. Not that it matters, this was a 5 m cable between my fiber box and my new wireless router. So the cable will not be the bottleneck in any of this.
