What is Enhanced Category 5?

Enhanced Category 5 is a specification designed for data networks to support very high-speed transmission, like gigabit Ethernet, at a bandwidth of 100MHz. Enhanced Category provides Power Sum characteristics to support these data rates. Enhanced Category 5 replaced Standard Category 5 as our base line offering in 1999

What is Category 6?

Category 6 is the specification for data cabling systems to support data transmissions at very high speeds, offering a bandwidth of 250MHz. It provides an excellent platform for gigabit Ethernet (which uses complex encoding techniques to limit the required bandwidth to 100MHz), but also caters for future high speed data transmission protocols offering even higher data rates or providing the same data rates using less expensive encoding schemes.

Why use category 6 instead of Enhanced Category 5 Products?

If you are currently running fast Ethernet then installing Category 6 cabling now will enable you to make two technology leaps: to Gigabit Ethernet, and beyond. This will prevent future disruption to your business, which will easily offset the additional cost of installing Category 6 now. Enhanced Category 5 on the other hand might not be capable of supporting technologies beyond Gigabit Ethernet.
