Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The “Cat” in Cat5e, Cat6, etc. is short for “Category.” Network cables are divided into categories based mainly on bandwidth (measured in MHz), maximum data rate (measured in megabits per second) and shielding.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cat5e – Has a speed up to 1.000 Mbit/s, 100MHz. Cat6 – Has a speed up to 1.000 Mbit/s, 250MHz. Cat6a – Has a speed up to 10.000 Mbit/s, 500MHz. Cat7 – Has a speed up to 10.000 Mbit/s, 1.000MHz.
Detailed explanation-3: -Techopedia Explains Category 4 Cable It provides 20 MHz of bandwidth with a data transfer rate (DTR) of up to 16 Mbps. However, for ANSI/EIA/TIA 568, the Cat 4 cable is rated at 20 MHz and 100 MHz for ISO/IEC 11801 specification.
