◎ The suitability table below outlines which product version is best matched to specific installation scenarios and user requirements.
| Use case | Recommended product | Why |
|---|
| Medium-distance connections | Extralink Cat.7 5m | The 5-meter length is ideal for connecting workstations or equipment situated across a room without excessive slack. |
| Short rack patching | Extralink Cat.7 0.5 m, Extralink Cat.7 1m or Extralink Kat.7 2 m | Short cables prevent clutter when patching between switches, routers, and patch panels in server closets. |
| Long-reach installations | Extralink Cat.7 15 m or Extralink Cat.7 10m | Extended lengths provide necessary reach for routing between distant rooms or larger office layouts. |
The Extralink Cat.7 S/FTP Patchcord LAN Network Cable 5m Copper Green 20G EX.38787 differs from alternative lengths solely by offering a balanced 5-meter reach while maintaining the same core copper construction, shielding, and 20G performance. It is most suitable for users needing a reliable intermediate-distance network link where shorter patch cords cannot reach and longer ones create unnecessary clutter.
