Trying to add network wiring to my house and need about 200 feet of cat7 or cat7a cables. I found very few stores selling this on the internet. Any idea which online stores sell good cat7 cables or which brand cable to buy?

If you're doing a major rewiring, I would recommend a professional and CAT7A. Modern 10Gb nics can only do 10Gb @ 100 meters with CAT7. I've read that shielding can protect your network from induced surges from a near by lightning strike, but you also need to make sure your shielding is properly grounded.
