CAT6 UTP Copper Patch Cable - Orange - 75 Feet in Total Length

Cat6 patch cables are a vast improvement over Cat5e cables. Cat6 Networking Cables are excellent for home computers, rack mounts, office, telephone systems and routers. All of our network cables are built with high-quality, gold-plated connectors to ensure a long life and great durability.

They are available in multiple colors and with a snagless boot to make every installation a breeze. They are also available individually or in bulk. All of our Cat6 patch cables are Gigabit approved.

Cat6 patch cables improve the reduction of crosstalk by making use of an internal separator that isolates cable pairs from each other. They are also backwards compatible with both Cat5 and Cat5e installations.

Cat6 ethernet cables offer 10x the speed and are generally considered ideal for big business applications or for those looking to future proof their installations.

Cat5e Ethernet Cable

The ‘e’ in Cat5e stands for enhanced. These are the most commonly used cables today due to their ability to reduce crosstalk. Cat5e Ethernet Cables are capable of handling speeds of up to 1000 Mbps (known as Gigabit Ethernet). This is a vast improvement over the older Cat5 cables.

Cat5e vs Cat6 Patch Cables, which is Best?

When choosing between Cat5e and Cat6 two factors should be taken into consideration: Speed vs Budget

Cat5e are lower in cost when compared to Cat6, however their speeds are more suited to home use applications. Cat6 cables on the other hand are marginally more expensive but offer 10x the speed and are generally considered ideal for big business applications or for those looking to future-proof their installations.
