Ethernet cables - the backbone of secure connectivity. With a trusty ethernet cable hooked up to your devices, you can transport all your data anywhere without fear of disruption. With technology in the new age, we do have Wi-Fi. But that has its own issues. Wired connections are the thing to invest in if you wish to have reliability.  Now, we are all familiar with the types of ethernet cables. Everything from Cat5 to Cat8 is a category of ethernet cable. All of them are of varying lengths, each having its advantages and drawbacks. Let’s talk about them briefly, starting with Cat5. Cat5 is the oldest, and therefore outdated, cable. It was the standard cable when network speeds went up to just 100 Mbps. The availability of faster internet is on the rise, so Cat5 has gone out of vogue. The updated version is the  Cat5e . This cable can support gigabit internet and is the most in use these days. It can support up to 1000 Mbps.   Moving on to Cat6, which has higher ba...

 Wi-Fi is like love. Always in the air and ready to connect you with the fascinating digital world. But ever wondered what keeps it in the air?

Both the cables have their advantages and disadvantages, specialties, and limitations. Through this blog, we will differentiate between the two and try to understand both in details: History Of Fiber & Ethernet Cables The fiber optic technology was first used in 1969 when NASA sent it to the moon for use in television cameras. And a company named Xerox develo...

Computers, televisions, telephones - they all make use of cables. And it’s difficult to imagine our lives without these electronic devices. So, we can probably say that networking cables are an inseparable part of people’s lives as several electronic devices don’t work without them.
