**Category 6**

What is Category 6?

Category 6 cable, commonly referred to as Cat6, is a standardized twisted pair cable used for Ethernet and other network physical layers. Compared to Cat5e, Cat6 features more stringent specifications for crosstalk and system noise. It supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) over 100 meters and can support 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) over shorter distances (typically up to 55 meters) in favorable conditions. Cat6 cable is commonly used in home and business networks to provide reliable and high-speed connections for computers, routers, and other network devices.
