Cat 6/6A Cable Description
Cat 6 cables use RJ45 connectors and are commonly used to connect computers to hubs, routers, or switches for network file sharing or internet access. This cable comes in different shielding types: U/UTP (unshielded/unshielded twisted pair), F/UTP (foil-shielded/unshielded twisted pair), and U/FTP (unshielded/foil-wrapped twisted pair).
Cat 6A is an enhanced Category 6 cable that supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10Gbps) with a bandwidth of 500 MHz, enabling reliable high-speed data transmission over even longer distances (up to 100 meters).
