Choosing the Right Type of Network Cables: Cat5e vs. Cat6 vs. Cat6A

Cat5e	Cat6	Cat6A
Cat5e has been around for more than 15 years and offers 1 gigabit network speeds up to 328 feet. Cat5e cables are the most common type of cable and the least costly to install.	Cat6 cables offer 10 gigabit network speeds for up to 164 feet. After that distance, the Cat6 cable performs the same as a Cat5e cable, 1 gigabit.	Cat6A cables are considerably thicker then Cat6 and have thick plastic around the wires and a tighter winding of the pairs themselves. Cat6A cables offers 10 gigabit speeds up to 328 feet.
