Product features
The transmission rate is up to 1000Mbps, and the transmission bandwidth is 350MHZ. The transmission of digital, voice, data and video signals to meet the high-end demand is especially suitable for all E level links and Cat.6 applications.
The tightness (tight) of the insulating layer and the conductor is greater than 45N/50mm, and the retreating rate of the core line is more than 100%.
The direction of the wire stranded wire is opposite to the direction of the cable stranded line, and the cable adopts 100% back twisting to ensure the stability and the straight character of the cable structure.
Coat color has 15 colors for choice, and from outside the box can clearly identify.
In the process of the printing, the length of each line can be intuitively known in the process of construction.
Cat5: older, slower
Category 5 cabling, also known as Cat5, is an older type of network cabling. Cat5 cables support theoretical speeds of 10Mbps and 100Mbps. You may be able to get gigabit speeds over Cat5 cables, especially if the cables are shorter, but it's not always guaranteed.
Since Cat5 is an older cable type, you probably won't see it in stores much, but you may have bought some with older routers, switches, or other networking equipment.
Cat5e: faster, less distracting
Category 5 Enhanced Cabling, also known as Cat5e, is an improvement over Cat5 cabling. It supports 1000 Mbps "gigabit" speeds, so theoretically it's faster than Cat5. It also reduces crosstalk, the interference that can sometimes be experienced between wires within a cable. These two improvements mean you're more likely to get fast, reliable speeds from Cat5e cabling compared to Cat5.
Cat6: Faster, but not super necessary
Category 6 cabling is the next step up from Cat5e and includes many more improvements. It has tighter specifications in terms of interference and is capable of speeds up to 10 Gb in some cases. You probably won't be using these speeds at home, and the additional interference improvements won't have a huge impact on regular use, so you don't really need to rush to upgrade to Cat6. However, if you're going to buy a new cable, you can do so too, as it's an improvement over its predecessor.
So which should you use?
It's important to note that your network speed is not the same as your internet speed. The chance to upgrade your cable won't make a difference to how quickly you can load Lifehacker or Facebook -- your internet speed will still be much slower than your network. However, if you're transferring files between computers (for example, if you're backing up to a NAS), using gigabit-compatible hardware can make things go much faster. Remember, you'll need more than cables -- to get gigabit speeds, you'll also need a gigabit-compatible router and a gigabit-capable network card in your computer. Most modern routers and cards already have these fast speeds, but if you have any older PCs or routers, they probably won't. Google your hardware model number to find out.
