This is the part where [Blue Jeans Cable] earns our respect; like good scientists, they set out to replicate Fluke’s results. Sure enough, 80% of the Cat 6 cables they tested from big box stores ...

Contrary to popular belief, CAT 7 isn’t the successor to CAT 6. CAT 7 is a proprietary design, but it is not a cabling standard of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Even ...

Belden Inc., a leading global provider of complete connection solutions, today announced the launch of its 10 GXM13 Category 6 A Cable. The 10 GXM13 cable delivers enhanced channel performance and ...

The highest-quality UTP is computer cable, premise/data cable. It's called Cat 5, Cat 5e or Cat 6. Cat 5 has been around for more than 10 years, so it may be familiar to you. While Cat 5 cable is ...

Cat 6 cables technically support speeds up to 10Gbps for up to 55 meters. That speed comes with a price, however, as a Cat 6 cable is more expensive than Cat 5 and Cat 5e variants.

Cat 6 is cable that's more reliable at higher speeds than Cat 5 or Cat 5e. They look pretty much the same; in fact, Cat 6 is backward compatible with Cat 4, so you can mix and match.

Category 6a cable, (or Augmented Category 6), is characterized to 500 MHz and has improved crosstalk characteristics, allowing 10GBASE-T to be run for the same distance as previous protocols.

This article was updated March 31, 2023. It was originally published Jan. 8, 2016. Engineers and designers who don’t regularly work with CAT data of cables, and even some that do, can get ...

CAT 6e cables are capable of transferring data at the same 10Gbps as their CAT 6 counterparts, but they support higher frequencies still (up to 500MHz) — so if you’re looking to build a very ...
