A Cat 5E cable, also known as Category 5 enhanced, is an Ethernet cable designed to support speeds up to 1000 Mbps (1 Gigabit per second) at a distance of up to 100 meters.
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
Cat 6A cabling provides enhanced performance, enabling networks to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) channels up to 100 meters, nearly three times longer than Category 6 cables
Cat7 is specified for frequencies up to 600MHz, compared to 250MHz for Cat6. Build on the performance of Cat6 cables by adding individual shielding to each twisted copper wire pair to further reduce crosstalk.
