We still run a lot of cat 5e mostly clients that don't want to mix 5e and 6 in their space. We tried to tell them if we run 6 now it will cost less when we replace the 5e. The answer is usually we will probably move or 7 will be out by then.

CAT 7, which has not been adopted by TIA/EIA is already a standard. But, I doubt if anyone has installed it.
The next category cable is CAT 8. That WILL be adopted by TIA/EIA

But CAT 8 is only meant for the data centers according to the various bodies involved in its creation.
I don't know of anyone that makes anything for CAT 7 here in the states since it's not a recognized standard here.

Despite its intended use as data center cabling, I suspect that CAT 8 will find its way into premises installations.
