Custom Ethernet Cables - CAT5e, Cat6 and CAT6A
There are many different types of strain relief and anti-snag options for patch cables in a variety of lengths and colors. (See Pictures)
Cat 5 & Cat 5e (Category 5, Category 5 Enhanced) Patch Cables
The need for more bandwidth and faster networks forced a new standard in Category cabling in the late 90's. The Category 5 standard was ratified and the new cable standard became 100MHz at 100Mbps. Cat 5 was short lived once Category 5 Enhanced (or Cat 5e) came along. Cat 5e patch cables are tested up to 350MHz at 1 Gbps.
Cat 6 or Category 6 Patch Cables
The official standard for Cat 6 cabling is 200MHz (twice the bandwidth of Cat 5) but most manufacturers test their Cat 6 patch cables up to 550MHz at 1 Gbps. Cat 6 cabling was created to facilitate the future bandwidth requirements needed for streaming multimedia applications. Cat 6 follows very strict rules in both the manufacturing process and in channel requirements. Wiring must maintain a tight pair twist as close to the connector/jack as possible. Category 6 channel requirements specify that every component in a Cat 6 network must meet minimum standards to ensure optimal performance. One method of differentiating a Cat 6 patch cable from Cat 5e patch cable is by simply looking the connector ends.
