Cat 6 cables support the same 1Gbps speed but at a higher 250MHz bandwidth. with stricter specifications for crosstalk and signal noise. This means more stable performance over longer distances. particularly in environments with electrical interference. If you're installing new cabling. Cat 6 is the better long-term choice as it also supports 10Gbps over shorter runs up to 55 metres.Choosing the Right LengthFor connecting a device to a router in the same room. 0.5m to 3m is usually sufficient. For runs between rooms or floors. 10m to 25m covers most homes. Our 50m cable is suited for larger properties or semi-commercial setups. Keeping cable runs as short as practical gives the best performance. so measure your route before ordering.
