Some Additional Information About Each Cat Cable
Cat 5e
- Ethernet network connectors for data transfer speed and connection distance
- Least expensive option
- Slower data transfer speeds up to one Gigabit per second at 100 MHz to 328 feet
- Provides capable performance for most applications
- Minimal crosstalk and reduced interference
Cat 6
- Faster and more expensive than Cat 5e, limited in distance
- Supports data transfer speeds up to 10 Gbps at 250 MHz
- Improved insulation for less crosstalk interference
- Qualified to handle the fast pace of Gigabit Ethernet networks
Cat 6a
- More sophisticated than Cat 5e and Cat 6
- Works well for long-term Gigabit Ethernet networks
- Supports 10 Gbps transmission speed up to 328 feet at 500 MHz
- Less crosstalk than Cat 6
Cat 7
- Use in cabling infrastructure of Gigabit Ethernet
- Performance of up to 600MHz
- Recommended for use when wiring smart home devices
- Shielding of twisted pairs significantly improves noise resistance
- Highly durable, long lifespan, improved overall return on investment
Cat 8
- Cables designed for high-speed data centers where servers, switches, and other network hardware are located near together
- Can handle 25G and 40G network
- Patch cables are stranded to improve flexibility and have the reach to cover Top, Middle, or End-of-Row network topologies
- Shielded to provide strong signal reducing crosstalk
In Stock Vs Custom Patch Cables
Our line of stock patch cables are ready to ship same day, are offered in most color options, and all standard lengths. These cables are great quality and provide solid performance. They cater perfectly to those who need to finely balance budget and performance.
If you prefer a custom solution, we have you covered. The lead time will take longer, but you will be able to fully customize your cable's length, boot type, pinout, color, and add a custom label.
Booted vs. Non-Booted
Traditionally, booted cables were bulky and hard to manage verses the non-booted variety. However all of our custom booted cables have flush fitting boots with easy release tabs thereby eliminating all of the drawbacks of booted cables. Therefore we highly recommend booted cables for the extra strain relief they provide at the connector.
Stranded vs. Solid Conductors
Generally speaking, patch cables utilize stranded conductor cable for the extra flexibility that they provide. Therefore most of our patch cables are made with stranded conductor cable. Due to the fact that plenum rated cable is only available in the solid conductor variety, our plenum custom cables utilize solid conductor cable. There is a slight tradeoff in flexibility however plenum rated cables can be installed in plenum spaces.
Why Use Shielded Cabling
Shielded cabling wards off unwanted signals or other noise. Keeping interference out will in theory make your data run faster. If your cabling is unshielded, you may still benefit from shielded patch cables (at the patch panel) since much of the noise can come from an adjacent patch cable. And as stated earlier, we recommend Shielded c able for Cat 6A since the low tolerance for noise is a strong factor.
