Here are several kinds of LAN cables that will assist you in connecting your devices to the internet. It’s important to select the one that meets your requirements so that you can achieve the best performance. In this article, we will discuss the benefits of Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat7 cables and how they compare for speed. And we are also going to provide you some tricks about using the best LAN cable.
LAN Cables, also known as Ethernet cables, are used to connect computers, printers or routers to a local area network (LAN). There are multiple kinds of LAN cables, and all types have their advantages and disadvantages.
The most common LAN cables are Cat5e. They are still inexpensive enough and effective in most home and small business networks. The Cat5e is fast capable of speeds of 1 Gbps. That makes them good for things like accessing teh internet, watching video and playing games online.
Cat5e cables are better than Cat5 cables. They complete tasks more quickly and can handle speeds up to 10 gigabits per second. Comparative to Cat5e cables, you will find the Cat6 cables being slightly pricier, however the indexing and data transfer on larger files or video calls are more than worth it.
Cat7 cables are the latest and most accelerated type of LAN cable. They are capable of supporting speeds of 100 gigabits per second. This nests them well for very busy networks in data centers or large companies. Cat7 cables are likely more expensive than both Cat5e and Cat6 cables, but also the highest performing for crucial tasks on the internet.
Consider how fast you want your internet to connect to the LAN cable when choosing it and how much you want to pay. If you have a simple home network and don’t need blazing-fast internet speeds, a Cat5e cable is perfectly fine. However, if you have a lot of devices and require faster speeds, you may prefer to opt for a Cat6 or Cat7 cable.
Also, consider how long you want the cable to be. Cat5e and Cat6 cables support up to 100 meters of length, while Cat7 cables are limited to 50 meters. If your devices are separate from one another, you will likely need a longer cable, or some sort of network switch or extender to bring them together.
