Cat5 vs Cat5e vs Cat6 - Which Should You Use?

Here is our opinion on choosing the right category of network cable:

• Cat5 - is the first UTP Standard to attempt to do 100 Mbps, use it if you plan on running at most 100 Mbps
• Cat5e - use it if you plan on running at 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps)
• Cat6 – use it if you plan on running at 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps) or more. Cat6 is better if you are in areas that have lots of interference like near power lines, lights, manufacturing equipment, or a long distance 1000 Mbps (Gigabit) run.
• We strongly suggest that you run at least Cat5e or Cat6 cable in the walls
• Cat5e are great for patch cables from the patch panel to the switch or from the computer to the wall jack
• Not all cat 5 is rated at 350, just the cat5E (or 5e+), old cat5 is rated at 100, cat5e at 200, which is also the minimum rate for cat6. The 550 rate is the top end of cat6. We very rarely use Cat5 cable anymore.
• Cat 6 was the first UTP Standard to attempt to do 10 Gbps, but is only rated to 37 m at 10 Gbps.
• For most applications the CAT5E 350MHz network cables are best. They will run up to 1 Gig and are not as expensive as CAT 6 cables.
• Cat 6A addresses this and supports 10 Gbps ethernet to 100 m.
• CAT5E 100MHz are rated to only run up to 100Mbps networks but are not expensive.
• CAT 6 cables are great for "future proofing" your installation. They are rated to carry network speeds above 1000 Mbps (Gigabit).

What is VOIP?

Voice over Internet Protocol is simply the transmission of voice traffic over IP-based networks. Shortcut for Voice over Internet Protocol, is a combination of hardware and software that enables people to use the Internet as the transmission medium for phone calls.  The voice data is sent in packets using IP rather than traditional circuit transmissions. The biggest advantage of VOIP is the low-cost.
