FAQs
What is the difference between CAT5e and CAT6 cables?
CAT5e supports data rates up to 1 Gbps and frequencies up to 100 MHz, making it suitable for standard office networks. CAT6 supports faster speeds (up to 10 Gbps) and higher frequencies, making it better for demanding applications. For basic connectivity, CAT5e is sufficient and more affordable.

Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
