Which is better, CAT5 or CAT6? What are the features that distinguish the two? Give the difference between CAT5 and CAT6 cables. Your suggestion would be of much help.
As far as the ports are concerned, both CAT5 and CAT6 cables use the same port for plug-in i.e. they utilize the same end piece. The difference lies in their capabilities as well as the method and material used to create them. The major differences include:
• CAT5 provides 1GB per sec speed at 100m while CAT6 provides 10GB per sec speed at 55m.
• CAT5 frequency: 100MHz, CAT6 frequency: 250MHz
• CAT5 has more crosstalk potential than CAT6 cable
