Data cables have evolved from early versions like CAT1 to more advanced categories that support high speeds. CAT5 and CAT5e reach up to 1 Gbps, CAT6 goes up to 10 Gbps, and CAT7 and CAT8 achieve 25-40 Gbps, with improvements in shielding and resistance to interference. This evolution meets the growing demand for fast and robust networks.
Ethernet cables are classified into 'CAT-N' categories ('CAT' meaning Category) based on their bandwidth (MHz), maximum data rate (Mbps), and level of shielding Here are the different types of Ethernet cables👇 #networkadmin #sysadmin #datacenter
