# Internet Speed # CAT5E vs CAT6 vs CAT6A # Cable Speed Test

🔻Types of network cables​ CAT5E, CAT6, CAT6A
✔️Category 5e
Cat-5e: This form of cable is recognized by the TIA/EIA and is defined in TIA/EIA-568, were last revised in 2001. It has a slightly higher frequency specification that Cat-5 cable as the performance extends up to 125 Mbps. Cat5e cable can be used for 100Base-T and 1000Base-t (Gigabit Ethernet). Cat 5e standard for Cat 5 enhanced and it is a form of Cat 5 cable manufactured to higher specifications although physically the same as Cat 5. It is tested to a higher specification to ensure it can perform at the higher data speeds. The twisted pairs within the cables tend to have the same level of twisting as the Cat 5 cables.
NOTE: 100-250Mhz/1 Gbps/100m.

✔️Category 6
Cat-6: This cable is defined in TIA/EIA-568-B provides a significant improvement in performance over Cat5 and Cat 5e. During manufacture Cat 6 cables are more tightly wound than either Cat 5 or Cat 5e and they often have an outer foil or braided shielding. The shielding protects the twisted pairs of wires inside the Cat 6 ethernet cable, helping to prevent crosstalk and noise interference. Cat-6 cables can technically support speeds up to 10 Gbps, but can only do so for up to 55 meters.
NOTE: 250-500Mhz/10 Gbps /100m.

✔️Category 6a
Cat-6a: The “a” in Cat 6a stands for “Augmented” and the standard was revised in 2008. The Cat 6a cables are able to support twice the maximum bandwidth and are capable of maintaining higher transmission speeds over longer cable lengths. Cat 6a ethernet cables utilize shielded which is sufficient to all but eliminate crosstalk. However, this makes them less flexible than Cat 6 cable.
NOTE: 250-500Mhz/10 Gbps /100m.

Check the ping guys, lower ping makes a difference.

[wlfgang]

This is not how you test a cable bandwidth... you do it in a test environment, not from your 300 mbit/s provider... Of course all those cables generally support such speed

[JanacMeena]

This is what I was looking for, thank you

[joshuadc]

You should have tested it within the LAN and turned on the microwave to see if the shielding prevents an EMF impact on the cat6a

[TH-hbct]

so what are you testing path lead or permanent link and how long?

[millsathn]

This is stupid. Cat5e is good for speeds of up to 1Gbps. Therefore, any speed test under that will show virtually no difference between the cables.

[lalotz]

Failed test. 6a can run 500hz and carry 10g. You're tests were based on 300mb which is low... 6a can do 1ghz

[rtyall]

Have you matched the wire gauges with the correct cables, 23AWG is noticably thicker than 26AWG? I was under the impression that cat5e had thinner cables than cat6 and cat6a.

[anant]

why ping is effected? what is meter of cable?

[juanzevallosguitierres]

My cat 5e with TPLINK gets 4 ping, and for cat 6 gets 3 ping. No big difference

[devonhc]

cat6a, ftw. but i prefer a cable thats low cost.

[awaiskhan]

I hope that china mobile pakistan-Zong telecom will provide 300 mbps speed on its 4G LTE network.But Unfortunatly they only provide 17 mbps on their network All over cities.Maybe Based on area Loyalties.

[Colors.TF]

Can your internet provider see whether you are using the cat5, cat6 or cat6e cable?

[jUAN_CARLOS_CHILE]

Mientras mayor es el AWG, es más delgado el cable, por lo tanto menos efectivo 😌

[David-cszo]

In my testing cat5e has the best ping like always.

Hi, we have a prewired data provisions around the house, they used cat5e. Im having a gig fiber installation this coming monday. Will i get the most of the speed the router can handle?

[matheussanches]

>cat 6a
>speed up like lightning mcqueen
>internet in china

>"dude, why half of the internet is censored?"
>should've bought a cheaper version

Genshin impact
Cat 5e = ping 110-135ms
Cat 6 = ping 100-106ms
