Cat5 cat6 or cat7?

Hi I am currently in the process of rewiring my new house. I see masterlink is eventually going to be replaced with net link. So rather than linking everything together with masterlink cable I was hoping to future proof myself by running 4 cat7 1cat5 and two coax to each TV point in each room. I will be using one cat7 and one coax per TV for the masterlink system. Leaving 3spare cat7 and 1 spare cat 5 I was hoping to use the cat 7 for if I want to link anything hd and the cat 5 for the it blasters. Everything will be routed back to one central point with some sort of patch panel. 

My system.comprises 

master bed: beovision 7-32 mk 3

master ensuite: some passive speakers not purchased yet any recommendations?

kids room: beovision 6-26

spare room: beovision 7-32 mk 3

Kitchen: beolab 3500

garage: beolab 2000

lounge: beosound 9000- beolab 8000

dining: beovision 7-32 mk 3

my question is do I need to be using cat7 or will cat 5 or cat 6 do? I have seen the rj45- masterlink cables but what about rj45- hdmi? And also I think I read that you can send 4 or blasters down one cat5? Is this correct if so how?  And as my bv7-32 don't have hdmi connection only  dvi slot can you get a rj45- dvi cable? Or can you put a dvi plug on the end of cat7? Also the bv7-32 mk3 recieves the sound through scart so can you use cat7 for that?

i hope that makes sense. Am i missing anything? Anybody with any suggesting please I would like to know.

thank you all in advance.

 

Martin, I would advice you to go for the CAT7 cable. More expensive, but a very good shielded cable without the loose of signal or interference from other cables/signals.

B&O and the dealers also recommend to use CAT7 for the new Beolink products. It's absolute futureproof!

Even HDMI signals (audio and video) can be transpoted by CAT7, and CAT7 is always backwards compatible.

Hi thanks for the response. Would you recommend using more or less or is 4 ok? Thanks

I'm using Cat7 as recommended by BO. It's indeed more expensive, but it offers the best reliability, and I was told opens to new future possibilities.

4 to each point ?

i think 2 x cat 7 to each point for equipment and 1 cat 7 to speaker positions would cover a lot.

Hey valve. The reason I was thinking 4 cat 7 is because I need one for masterlink one for hdmi and one for scart. The cat 5 will be used as it blaster and 1 coax for masterlink. So that leaves me one cat 7 and one coax spare. I am still unsure how I use the cat 5 for the or blaster?

Does anybody know how many ir blasters I can send down one cat5 and how? Tganks

Only problem with cat 7 cable is its bend radius if you have a lot of awkward angles where the cable passes through it can be a problem cat 6 does not suffer as much, but again that's what they recommend pretty sure cat 6 will everything that you need it to??

Am using Cat6e (Shielded - not individually, solid copper twisted paid) and works a charm.
