What Does “Cat” Mean?
Ethernet cables are all labelled as “Cat-5″, “Cat-5e”, Cat-6e”, etc. “Cat” is simply a short form for “category” and the number that follows it gives you an idea as to what specifications the cable was manufactured to.
Usually the higher the number, the faster the speed and the higher the frequency capability of the cable. The newer cables as usually able to support higher bandwidths, and as a result, can give you faster download speeds and faster connection times.
What Do the Different Ethernet Cable Speeds Mean?
To give you a clearer picture of how fast these cable speeds are, consider the following:
Imagine you are trying to download some movies. Each movie is 4.5 GB in size.
If the Ethernet cable you are using has a speed of 10 Mbps then that means you would be able to download one 4.5 GB movie in one hour.
The chart will give you a better idea of cable speeds by showing how many movies could be downloaded in one hour.
Ethernet Cable Speed |
# of Movies (4.5GB)
|
|---|---|
| 10 Mbps = 1.2 MB/second | 1 |
| 100 Mbps = 12 MB/second | 10 |
| 1.0 Gbps = 125 MB/second | 100 |
| 10 Gbps = 1.25 Gbps 1000 | 1000 |
Does The Length Of Cable Matter?
Yes. With Ethernet cables, the longer the cable, the slower the transmission speed. These speeds don’t usually start to drop off until you go over 100 meters though.
In your home, you probably wouldn’t be using cables longer than 100 meters, so you wouldn’t notice the decrease, however, in larger business locations, length of cable does become a factor.
