Q13: Why do we use Category 6 instead of Enhanced Category 5
Products?
A13:Installing Category 6 cabling now will assure going beyond Gigabit
Ethernet.
Enhanced Category 5 is currently sufficient to support data rates up to
1000 Mbps over 100 Mhz but might not be capable of supporting technologies
beyond Gigabit Ethernet. Category 6 allows running on a higher frequency
limit 250 MHz. This allows existing protocols to operate with more headroom
and provides the infrastructure to cope with future developments in data
communication technology.
