CAT6 Cable vs. CAT6a Cable On surveys at NM cabling, our project team is regularly asked if Cat6 and Cat6a cables are the same or why I should have one or the other. When it comes to Ethernet cabling, CAT6 and CAT6a may sound very similar, but they are not the same when it comes
Firstly, the modern standard for Cat5 is Cat5e which stands for Cat5 Enhanced. This forms part of the current structured twisted pair cabling options which include: Cat5e Cat6 Cat6a Cat7 Cat8 Cat5e or Cat6 cabling? The question therefore should be which is better suited to my requirements, Cat5e or Cat6 cabling? You can use a
Should Cat6 Cabling Replace Cat5e? Computer networks are an essential part of modern life, but for a network to be effective it needs to be transfer data at high speeds. Achieving this is made possible with data cables. However, you need to have the correct cables in place. The traditional data cabling used was Cat
Understanding Data Cable Categories Telecommunications and data transfer are two of the most elements of modern business. Without the correct handling of these two aspects, it’s going to be a struggle to be competitive in the business landscape. Thankfully, you can minimise this struggle by working with the best cables for the job. But there
Understanding Cat6 Cabling Category 6 cable contains four twisted wire pairs and allows frequencies up to 250 MHz. It is used in 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet), 10GBASE-T (10-Gigabit Ethernet) applications. Cat6 also supports 10GBASE-T applications over the traditional limits of copper cabling. This is made possible with all four wires working together to handle the
