cat6 vs cat5

Recommended Posts


any benefit of using 6 over 5..or is that not a concern?

 

As a network guy, I use Cat6 in new installs

 

As for performance, no difference

 

Cat6 and Cat5 (or Cat5e), have the same 100m max distance, can support up to Gigabit Ethernet (Cat6 can do 10Gb Ethernet in theory, but is not widely adopted outside the data center anyways)
