Super Cat5 and 6 network cables
Unshielded super five network cable (CAT5E): no skeleton in the middle, wire diameter 0.51mm; The transmission bandwidth is 100MHz, which is used for voice transmission and data transmission with a maximum transmission rate of 100Mbps, and supports 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet network for short distances. Now it is common to use unshielded super five network cables, which can meet the application of up to 1000M, but the stability is not good.
Unshielded CAT 6 network cable (CAT6): has a plastic skeleton with a wire diameter of 0.57mm. The transmission bandwidth of this type of cable is 250MHz, which provides twice the bandwidth of more than Cat 5. The transmission performance of Category 6 cabling is much higher than that of the Category 5 standard, and it is most suitable for applications with a transmission rate of 1Gbps, supporting 2.5G/5Gbps/10Gbps 10Gbps 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks over short distances.

It is explained here that many home improvement company network cables are used relatively poorly, copper-clad aluminum, or worse copper-clad iron, and super 5 types of 6 types of signs, everyone must be sure when home decoration, can be asked, measure the wire diameter, etc. Because many home decorations are hidden projects, we must pay attention to them. If necessary, you can buy the national standard six categories of unshielded network cable.
Under the balance of price and use, six categories of unshielded network cables are recommended.
Now home NAS (data storage center) and so on more and more people, LAN network speed requirements are high, home decoration try to choose six categories of line or higher level network cable, weak current panel position must be left to the appropriate position, can provide NAS or future wired and wireless network upgrades to provide greater margin, operators can already provide 1000Mbps bandwidth, Category 6 lines can provide 2.5Gbps, 5Gbps, and 10Gbps (short range) to meet the network upgrade requirements in the next 5-10 years.
