Rewiring Business Network: Cat7?

I'm not a networking guy - but have been tasked with helping out a local small business modernize their infrastructure...We're replacing their 1990s PBX with one of the open source PBX systems, and one of my runs is going to be close to 350 feet - so I was thinking that it'd be better if I were to run cat7 vs cat6. I'm not anticipating a ton of network traffic - but I will be running a voip system so am concerned about performance...It's also got a lot of night club equipment - think sound system, strobes, etc - so I'm worried about possible interference from those devices.

Anyone have any feedback on the plan to go cat7? Anything I have to be thinking about? Thanks! :)
