EDIT: The link is now working, but it's OOS!
EDIT and now it's back in stock but at the full $9.97 price (it was a limited quantity deal, after posting this it went from like 80% claimed to unavailable within 15 mins).
My limited half ars research leads me to believe the only difference of a patch cable is that it has male connectors on both ends. Is there less shielding, performance ECT of a patch cable compared to a standard Ethernet cord? The classification/etymology seems a bit ambiguous to me; perhaps I'm over thinking here...

This patch also has a nice nylon braided covering instead or bare PVC.
This isn't something you'd run in walls, so no need to worry about the terminology, this will work for any interconnecting you want to do up to 25 gigs (and probably 40 gig too).
This cable is also shielded, which isn't really important for most home users but a nice feature to have. Patch cables and bulk Ethernet can be shielded (STP, FTP, SFTP) or unshielded (UTP).
If you're asking about two cables with RJ45 on both ends where one is called patch and one is called ethernet, that is just different terminology for the exact same thing. Heck you could cut a piece of solid bulk ethernet, put RJ45s on both ends, and it would technically be a patch cable. Neither term refers to any sort of standard, you need to look at the category, shielding, wire gauge, fire rating, etc independent of whatever the cable is called.

So if a Patch cable has the same Category as an Ethernet cord it has the same performance/specs; the Patch classification is basically letting you unambiguously know that it has been terminated with male connectors on both ends. I think I get it now and thanks for enlightening me; it's appreciated.

For home use up to 10 gig any of the cables listed will work fine. I'm not a big fan of the flat ones as they use very small wires inside but at these lengths (even 100 feet) they should be fine as long as you don't run them up against AC power cables for long distances.
IEEE/TIA set standards. Cat 7 is NOT recognized and as such less reputable manufacturers could produce not good ones. As it is, there is rampant mislabeling with cheaper brands, quality control, and yes cat 7 with it's different protocols could impact performance for typical equipment since it serves a very niche market.
Even though the risk is tiny, it's hard enough to troubleshoot the network, hard to optimize, so why bother introducing yet another variable which is NOT required nor suggested?
Your statement is completely false, so please stop spreading information with such certainty. There is ZERO advantages to cat 7, ZERO savings, and potential problems, however unlikely. Get YOUR facts straight before accusing.

There is no reason to pay more for a CAT 6 cable if you can get this CAT 7 under $2.50, which is plenty of savings over other cables. No, there is also no reason to pay MORE for CAT 7 over CAT 6 or 6a, get the cheapest cable that will suit your needs (and have some room for growth if you plan to upgrade and don't want to replace cables).
I've never seen a CAT 7 cable not work due to a connector issue, RJ45 is RJ45 regardless of how it is assembled internally. There is also no difference in "protocol", they all pass ethernet.
I am not spreading misinformation, I am certain that my statement is correct, hence the certainty. I've been doing this for 25 years. Just because you rolled back your statement that the connector won't fit right, doesn't change that you are the one misleading people unnecessarily.
No, you will not find CAT 7 in a datacenter or enterprise environment. You also won't find Amazon Basics or any of these cheap off brands. If you want to spend $20 a piece for Panduit or Commscope, go for it, but for the average home user (the target audience of this site), this cable is a good deal and will work 100% perfectly fine.
