An Ethernet cable is a common type of network cable used with wired networks. Ethernet cables connect devices such as PCs, routers, and switches within a local area network. These physical cables are limited by length and durability. If a network cable is too long or of poor quality, it won't carry a good network signal. Category 6 cable (Cat 6), is a standardized twisted pair cable for Ethernet and other network physical layers that is backward compatible with the Category 5/5e and Category 3 cable standards. ... The cable standard specifies performance of up to 250 MHz, compared to 100 MHz for Cat 5 and Cat 5e. 1: High Speed15m (metres) Cat.6 network cable (upwards/downwards compatible) | Patch cable | 2 RJ-45 plug | plug with bend protection.
