When purchasing a network cable, you will often see such terms as Category 5, Category 5, and Category 6 cables. People who don’t know about cables can easily buy useless cables if they just buy them casually. Or the cable model is too backward to meet the demand for Internet access. Or the model is too advanced to use at all, a waste of money. So before buying a network cable, you need to understand the difference:
1. The internal structure of the Category 6 network cable and the Category 5 network cable is different. The internal structure of the Category 6 network cable adds a cross frame, and the four pairs of twisted-pair cables are placed in the four grooves of the cross frame. The cross frame in the center of the cable Rotate the angle with the change of length;
2. The copper core size of the Category 6 network cable and the Category 5 network cable are different. The copper core of the Category 5 network cable is 0.45mm or less, the Category 5 network cable is 0.45mm-0.51mm, and the standard Category 6 network cable is 0.56mm-0.58mm;
3. Different skin markings. The outer skin of Category 5 cables will be marked with the words [CAT5], the outer skin of Category 5 cables will be marked with the words [CAT5e], and the outer skin of Category 6 cables will be marked with the words [CAT6].
4. The transmission bandwidth is different. The transmission bandwidth of Category 5 network cable is 100Mbps, the transmission bandwidth of Category 5 network cable is 100-1000Mbps, and the transmission bandwidth of Category 6 network cable is 1000Mbps, which can be applied to Gigabit networks.
Therefore, it can be said that Category 5 network cables are lagging behind the times. If the budget is appropriate, a network cable of Category 5 or above should be selected. Otherwise, no matter how much traffic is opened, it will be useless due to the lack of hardware. Reliable and safe network cables of various specifications are required, provided by TXGA.
