Does Ethernet Cable Length Affect Network Speed and Performance?

Image
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 Cat5 is the oldest, and therefore outdated, cable.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...

How to Setup Wired Internet Connection at Home

More and more companies are moving towards work from home or adopting a hybrid work culture. Having an internet connection is a mandatory thing to have. Nowadays, we all use routers for WiFi connection as it is more convenient than dealing with cables. However, the WiFi connections can be unstable or may not reach the working table of your room. The walls or any other surface that comes in the way of the radiation, slows it down. No one likes when video calls buffer and you miss out on important information or your connection gets stuck in between your presentation.  To avoid all these, if you have a desk and you likely work on that then you must invest in wired connection. You can install the wire in a proper way so that it does not look messy and you have a clean organized desk. In this article, we will discuss all about wired connection or we can say ethernet cable that goes behind it. First let us understand what ethernet cables are and how they look. What is an Ethernet Cabl...

Cat5E vs. Cat6 vs. Cat6A - Which Ethernet Cable Should You Choose?

Which Ethernet cable to choose between Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6A is one of the most common questions cabling technicians get. Understandably, there is a lot of confusion in the market about which cable is the best and why. Some installers even end up arguing against each other and often take strong stands on which cable is the best. Ultimately all three cables - Cat5E, Cat6, and Cat6A use an RJ-45 end. This enables you to plug into the same Ethernet jack on your computer, switches, and routers. Each cable has its proper place and application. Let us talk about differences now. Pricing The first most notable difference between these three cables is price. Cat6 costs roughly 30% more than Cat5E, and Cat6A costs 30% more than Cat6. Plenum adds 30% over non-plenum. Shielded cabling (STP) adds roughly 30-40% more over unshielded (UTP) cabling. This means if your Cat5E installation is quoted at $10,000, then the same job with Cat6A maybe $16,000. Thus, cost itself might be the #1 limiting facto...

The Future of Network Cabling: Fiber & Copper Together

Image
With the technological advancements & increasing internet speed raises a question as to whether to use traditional copper as the physical interconnector or upgrade to fiber to support these higher speeds. In this blog post, we are going to see the main difference and consequences of using both on the same platform. Size And Space: The main difference will be fluctuation in size and weight. Everyone has seen a traditional Cat5/Cat6 and a fiber cable. The clear difference here is that a duplex fiber optic cable provides 25 percent space savings and 50 percent weight savings over shielded bulk cat5e cable . Moreover, optical fiber cables are lighter, thinner, and more efficient than their copper counterparts. However, it is important to note that fiber cables are a bit more fragile and require special tools to terminate connections. Transmission Speed: Traditional Cat5 twisted pair copper cables support a transmission rate of 100 Megabits per second. On the same side, Ca...
