Any thoughts on it not being standard?

I just skimmed a few articles, but it appears cat7 isn't a standard. It uses a different connector as well. Seems like cat6a or cat8 might be better, but it might depend on needs, run lengths, etc.
Was the 7 a typo?

Because unless you got some sort of a great deal there's really no reason to run anything above 5E in a home as that will handle gig ethernet at up to 100m.
Cat7...cat8...whatever it takes. *
