I don't know if all parts of the cat7 standard are finalized. I think the main difference between cat7 and cat6a is the shielding. The huge issue with shielding is you must have a special dedicated data ground in the building you can not just use the electrical ground. It tends to only be available in larger data centers. Using shielded cable without the grounds can actually cause issue rather than reduce them.

Be aware you should only be using cat6a or cat7 if you are connecting it to 10g equipment. It just is a waste of money to use more expensive cables and plug them into 1g equipment. You will still only get 1g.

I have seen most people use shielded cat6 connections with cat7 but the companies that sell the connectors also sell what they call cat7. Not sure what those really are.
