How is Category 6 different from Category 5E?

Category 6 cables have a better communication performance and higher bandwidth than Category 5E cables. The bandwidth available for Category 6 cables is 200 MHz contrary to 100 MHz as available in Category 5E cables. Also including near end crosstalk (NEXT), improved insertion loss, return loss, and equal level far end crosstalk (ELFEXT). Category 6 cables also reduce the noise in the signal and therefore have elevated signal/noise ratio. Due to the higher bandwidth in Category 6 cables, they provide the systems more reliable and faster transfer rates for future applications.

Is Category 6 the future cable ?

The answer is yes, Category 6 indeed is the future cable. As predicted by analyst and autonomous polls conducted, polls show that around 80-90 % of the new networks will be equipped with Cat 6 cables. The best part of Category 6 which favors its installation is that it is backward compatible with Cat 5 and Cat 5e cables. This feature of Category 6 allows the users to supersede their Category 5E networks with Category 6 networks.

Why should a user replace Category 5 cable networks with Category 6 Cable networks?

The answer is very simple and clear. Better communication performance and its better protection from external noise makes the system with Category 6 networks more stable as compared to a system equipped with Category 5E cables. This means there is less loss of data packets and re-transmissions of data at certain intervals. This makes Category 6 networks more reliable than Category 5E networks.
