Difference of Cat5e/ Cat6/ Cat6e/ Cat6A/ Cat7 networking Cable
Recently I upgraded the home network, from 120Mbps to 400Mbps, and found that the network speed can not reach the peak. So I conducted a check and finally found out that it was a problem with the network cable. Because it used the old network cable, the bandwidth is not enough, so it does not move so much traffic. I went directly to buy two pieces Cat6A network cables, and I finished the problem and solved the problem. I will give you a little talk about the types of these cables today. Basically, it is okay to buy according to the maximum value. The higher the value, the better the compatibility. Cat7 is an enterprise network cable, which is generally not used at home, and the interface is special which Performance is not much different from Cat6A.
There is a picture can show the Difference of Cat5e/ Cat6/ Cat6e/ Cat6A/ Cat7 networking cable directly.
Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6e are Gigabit Ethernet cables in speed, while Cat6A is a 10 Gigabit Ethernet cable with more bandwidth. Although Cat7 has higher bandwidth than Cat6A, but the interface is not ordinary RJ45, it is GG45, so Cat7 is Not for home users.
