What is Cat (Category) Cable?
Cat cable is a type of multi conductor cable that contains twisted pairs used for carrying signals. Most often, you will find these cables are used in data transmission. What other applications is it used for? If you're looking for something a little more powerful, check out CAT5E (enhanced) cable. This cable can handle 1000Mbps speeds (gigabit ethernet) at 100 MHz. For the higher performance available, CAT6 is the right choice. This cable can handle up to 10-gigabit ethernet at 250 MHz. CAT6 is also specifically designed to reduce "crosstalk" better than CAT5E. CAT6A is also available.
