What’s the difference between Cat5, Cat5e, and Cat6 cables?
Now when it comes to choosing the right cable, one would ask what’s so different as on a superficial physical level, they all look just about the same. Even if they appear to be the same physically; but electrically, there is a big difference and it all has to do with bandwidth. The more data you wish to transfer through your cable, the higher is the frequency of the signal and the higher should be the cable’s quality. Cat5 cable is comparatively lesser on quality compared to Cat 5e/Cat6 cable. So if you want higher data rates, choose a Cat5e cable or a Cat6 cable and all your networking needs would be met and you’d have a flawless musical experience.
