Cat6 or category 6 cabling is the 6th generation of twisted ethernet pairing cables. The four twisted wire pairs can allow frequencies of up to 250MHz. The copper wires ensure maximum level of performance. It is used in 100BASE-TX, 100BASE-T(gigabit applications) and 100GBASE T (gigabit ethernet) applications. The high transferability speed of Cat6 cables makes it extremely suitable for offices, homes and data centres. The speed of transferability is mainly because of the four pairs of cables working together instead of two which is found in the earlier version of Cat 5e. But Cat6 cable uses the similar connector port Cat5e which is called the RJ45. The maximum limit that can be transferred by Cat6 is 10 Gigabit Ethernet upto a maximum of 55m.
