Categories of Ethernet cables

• Following are the types of Ethernet cables
• Cat5e Cables
• Cat6 Cables
• Cat6a Cables
• Lets dive a bit more to learn more about these
  modern data transfer cables.

Cat5e Cables

• Cat5e Cables are basically fifth-generation
  ethernet cables that are designed to accommodate
  data transfer rates of up to 1 Gbps over a length
  of 50 meters and up to 100 Mbps over a length of
  100 meters. The cable has a decent bandwidth
  capacity of 350 MHz.

Cat6 Cables

• Hailing from the family of the 6th generation
  ethernet cables, Cat6 cables are premium cables
  that provide lightning-fast data transfer rates.
  The cable supports 10 Gbps data transfer over a
  distance of 50 meters or 164 feet.

Cat6a Cables

• Cat6a cables are renowned for facilitating 10
  Gbps data transfer rates over a distance of 100
  meters with an augmented bandwidth capacity of
  750 MHz. 
• Cat6a cables have 8 conductors. Just like the 2
  aforesaid cables, the conductors of the Cat6a
  cables are either made up of pure copper
  conductors or copper-clad aluminum.

Which Ethernet cable is right for you?

• It depends on various factors, the first of which
  is data transfer speed. These days, people
  usually opt for either Cat6 cables or Cat6a
