It is more economical, performs well, and is readily available in many colors. It is for this reason that most of your new installations in the private sector are going with Cat5e. In most cases, it makes more sense to go with Cat5e.
It becomes a matter of whether or not you want to pay all that extra money, for little or no noticeable improvement in the performance of you network. By comparison, Cat6 is designed especially for gigabit use, and is certified to operate at said speed. Unless every single component in the network is gigabit rated, then you will never have a gigabit network, because your network will always run at the speed of your slowest device.Ĭat5e cable of good quality can run near or at gigabit speeds, it just cannot be “certified” for this use. Most of this confusion comes from a misunderstanding by the buyer that buying Cat6 cable will give them an “all gigabit” network. Category 5e or Category 6 Twisted Pair CableĬurrently there is a great deal of confusion among Ethernet cable buyers concerning whether to purchase Cat5e, or to use Cat6. The twisting cancels out electrical noise from adjacent pairs and from other sources such as motors, relays, and transformers. The total number of pairs in a cable varies.
A number of twisted-pair wires are often grouped together and enclosed in a protective sheath to form a cable. There are two types of twisted-pair cable: unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) and shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable. In its simplest form, twisted pair cable consists of two insulated strands of copper wire twisted around each other.
