Difference of Cat7 ethernet cable

[Hanqing Li]

Hi guys! I plan to grab a cat 7 cable for gaming, because I was currently using wireless network.
there are the two cables I was considering
From Tera Grand:
http://www.amazon.com/Tera-Grand-Shielded-Ethernet-Connectors/dp/B00CLWYWSQ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1449274883&sr=8-3&keywords=cat7+ethernet+cable+50+ft

and Rosewill:

the price difference are huge, so I wonder how much would I benefit from the Tera Grand cable, is it even worth it to get the Tera grand cable?

Thank you very much guys.

You would not gain a single thing with either of those cables over the standard cat5e/6 cables you can buy for $5 unless you had a multi-thousand dollar 100Gigabit Router and Nic

The shielding may actually cause you issues. The shield must be grounded on each end and if you equipment does not have 10g ports it likely does not have the grounding tabs to connect to the cable. Ungrounded shielded cable can act as antenna actually increasing the interference.

Just buy a cat5e cable. The ports control the speeds not the cable. If you hook a cat7 cable to a 10/100 port it will run at 10/100 just like a cat5e cable. You are just wasting money. Only when you get 10g ports do you need to worry about better cable. cat5e will also run at 1gig speeds with no issues.
