What is Ethernet Cabling?
Connecting servers to other IT infrastructure, forming the communications network
Ethernet cabling is a popular choice for wired networks.
The way in which Ethernet works is that it allows each of the connected devices to communicate between each other.
This communication is conducted as a result of a set of established rules, which are known as a network protocol.
Ethernet cables are used to connect devices within a Local Area Network (LAN), these devices include:
- PC’s
- Routers
- Switches
Discussing the categories and their features
Types of ethernet cables
There are many different categories of Ethernet cable that may be used within your system, but our expert engineers will be able to recommend the right cable for your needs. Below you can find the different Cat cables and some of their features.
Cat 5e cables
Cat 5e, or Cat 5 enhanced, took over from Cat 5 as the standard cable used in network infrastructure. The most basic of Ethernet cables, it’s designed to offer a consistent connection that can support speeds up to 1GB/s.
Cat 6 cables
Cat 6 is the next step up, supporting the same speed but with a higher bandwidth allowance. This extra bandwidth helps to make transfer, upload or download times faster, making it perfect for businesses that use those features frequently.
Cat 6a cables
Offering a much larger jump in speed and bandwidth from Cat 6 than Cat 5e to Cat 6, this cable can support up to 10GB/s of speed and 500MHz bandwidth. Featuring extensive shielding, interference is eliminated almost entirely too.
Cat 7 cables
Cat 7 offers the same speed capabilities as Cat 6a but has a 100MHz higher bandwidth cap. If your business is frequently downloading or uploading large files, this additional bandwidth can be key.
Cat 7a cables
If your business has advanced requirements, then this might be the option for you. Cat 7 augmented (Cat 7a) offers the same speeds of 10GB/s but boasts a whopping 1000MHz bandwidth. The average user likely won’t need something as extensive as this, but the option is there for businesses who are very heavy-duty internet users.

High Quality
Ethernet cables offer high quality connections, as the bandwidth is not distributed between connected devices and as it is wired will remain consistent.
Speed
Ethernet offers high speed connectivity, due to the single connection and is often much faster than wireless connections.
