Networking Cable

A LAN cable, or Ethernet cable, is a physical cable that connects devices to a local area network (LAN). LAN cables usually connect computers, printers, routers, and other network devices. They are also used to connect gaming consoles and other devices that require a wired connection

Cat 6, an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) design, emerged as an advancement of the UTP Cat 5e and was formalised in 2001. The design of Cat 6 required more stringent precision in manufacturing, which enabled reduced noise and crosstalk, thereby improving performance.

Cat7 cable is intended to support much higher frequencies of signals than the Cat5e and Cat6 cables. A Category 7 cable (Cat 7 cable) is a shielded twisted pair cable that is used in high-speed Ethernet-based computer networks of 1 Gbps or higher between directly connected servers, switches, and computer networks.
