"Propagation Delay & Delay Skew""Propagation delay is the amount of time that passes between when a signal is transmitted and when it is received at the opposite end of a cabling channel. The effect is akin to the delay in time between when lightning strikes and thunder is heard - except that electrical signals travel much faster than sound. Delay skew is the difference between the arrival times of the pair with the least delay and the pair with the most delay. Transmission errors that are associated with excessive delay and delay skew include increased jitter and bit error rates."
For what it's worth and it could be nothing, note the specified 'delay skew' is about half for CAT 7 (30ns) as that for CAT 6/6a (50ns).
First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
