What is CAT5, CAT5e and CAT6 cabling?
If you are reading this on our blog, then you are likely already the beneficiary of CAT5 or CAT6 cabling. CAT5 and CAT6 cabling is most commonly used to connect computers to modems and ISPs. CAT5 cable has become obsolete in recent years and has been replaced with CAT5e cable which is some 10 times faster than CAT5. CAT6 cable can handle up to 10 Gigabits of data over 164 feet of cable. There is also something called CAT6a cable which can maintain a 10 Gigabit connection speed over 328 feet of cable.
Which type of cable is best?
We recommend CAT6 and CAT6a cable wherever possible. These cables are more futureproof than the CAT5e equivalent. The only real downside to CAT6 and CAT6a cable is cost, which is why in many computer data networks it serves as the backbone to networks as opposed to being run to workstations. CAT5e is a good option however because it gives you plenty for the money; although it will become obsolete faster than CAT6 cable. Most of the installations we work on today include a combination of CAT6, CAT6a and CAT5e cable.
