    Cat 7 would probably be better to go with today in a new home.
    Category 7A is not recognized by the either the TIA or the EIA. Cat 6a is by default a STP, whereas Cat 7 is not. Max Bandwith between for each according to third parties is 500MHz (Cat 6A) vs 600MHz (Cat 7). Lab testing for Cat 7 shows it can theoretically support 40Gbps at a distance under 50m. I would argue that inside a home and in wall with power wiring you would always want a shielded twisted pair.

    As far as capacity, what is the difference between Cat 6, Cat 6e and Cat 7?
    Capacity differences present themselves over the total length of cable in a given environment.
