Picking the right Ethernet cable for your home or business network is important. Not only does cable type and category affect speed and overall performance, but it can have a drastic effect on the quality of your connection. While wireless networks are far more prone to interference than wired ones, the wrong sorts of cables can lead to a connection that is far from optimal in every sense.
Two of the most popular Ethernet cables are Cat5e and Cat6, but which is better? Costs are roughly comparable between the two, and though both can feature shielding, one has broader and grander options for protecting your network connection quality than the other.

well as used in the housing synthesis wiring system between user
correspondence leading out terminal and patch pannel.
Technical differences
As the category number gets higher, so does the speed and Mhz of
the wire. This is not a coincidence, because each category brings
more stringent testing for eliminating crosstalk (XT) and adding
isolation between the wires.
This does not mean your experiences have been the same. Physically you can use Cat-5 cable for 1 Gb speeds, and I have personally used cable longer than 100 meters, but because the standard has not been tested for it, you’ll probably have mixed results. Just because you have Cat-6 cable, doesn’t mean you have 1 Gb network speeds either. Every connection in your network needs to support the 1 Gb speed and in some cases, the connection will need to be told in software to use the available speed.
Category 5 cable was revised, and mostly replaced with, Category 5 Enhanced (Cat-5e) cable which did not change anything physically in the cable, but instead applied more stringent testing standards for crosstalk.
Category 6 was revised with Augmented Category 6 (Cat-6a) which provided testing for 500 Mhz communication (compared to Cat-6’s 250 Mhz). The higher communication frequency eliminated alien crosstalk (AXT) which allows for longer range at 10 Gb/s.
