The basic Sachs (PC48??) will work perfectly on 7-spd.

SRAM PC41 or PC58 from:

PC41 is black, 58 is half black/grey half silver. Both are suitable for 7
and 8sp systems. Add a Power Link.

SRAM PC48 is the basic 7/8sp black chain and will work absolutely fine.
I use one on a very expensive touring bike with XT kit.
