What are the Improvements in the Cat 6 Cable over the Cat 5 Cable?
Thursday, October 2nd, 2008Most cabling technologies are now going the Cat 6 way. In corporate setups the Cat 6 cable is being preferred over Cat 5 and even Cat 5e. This is a gigabyte cable with a processing speed of over 1 Gbps. But the best benefit is that it is designed specially to reduce crosstalk interference. There are four pairs of twisted wires in all cables, but in the Cat 6 cable, these twisted wires have a separator wire between them. This makes the transmission clearer.
