If you compare Cat6 with Cat5 and Cat 5e, you will find Cat6 has stricter crosstalk and system noise specifications.
If you compare Cat6 with Cat5 and Cat 5e, you will find Cat6 has stricter crosstalk and system noise specifications. Cat6 can be used for 10BASE-T Ethernet, 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet, 1000BASE-T / 1000BASE-TX (Gigabit Ethernet) and 10GBASE-T (10 Gigabit Ethernet).
During horizontal wiring, up to 100 meters of Cat6 cable can be used in 10Base-T, 100Base-TX and 1000Bast-T applications. This 100-meter-long patch panel includes a Cat6 solid cable up to 90 meters long and a 6-meter Cat6 stranded cable from the work area socket to the computer or server.
For 10GBase-T Ethernet applications, up to 55 meters of Cat6 cable can be used in horizontal cabling.
Some businesses and homes have installed Cat6 cables to prepare for future bandwidth requirements. Applications such as video, video conferencing, and games take up a lot of bandwidth.
What is Cat6A cable?
When used for 10GBASE-T Ethernet, Cat6 cable supports a maximum length of 55 meters; Cat6A cable (or enhanced Category 6) has passed the 500 MHz bandwidth certification and has improved alien crosstalk characteristics, so that 10GBASE-T can 100Base-T, 100Base-TX and 1000Base-T run 100m Ethernet at the same distance.
