Choosing the Right Ethernet Cable for Your Setup
With Cat 6 Ethernet being fast, affordable, and widely compatible, it is the everyday standard. For more demanding environments, Cat 6a and Cat 8 offer improved shielding and performance, ideal for future-proofing or professional-grade installations. Below, we break down the key categories to help you choose the perfect fit.
| Cat5e | Cat6 | Cat6a | Cat8 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Max Speed | 1 Gbps | 10 Gbps (short) | 10 Gbps | 25-40 Gbps |
| Max Bandwidth | 100 MHz | 250 MHz | 500 MHz | 2000 MHz |
| Ideal For | Browsing, basic use | Home office, streaming, gaming | Business networks, longer cable runs | Data centres, ultra-high-speed needs |
| Shielding | No | Optional | Yes (always) | Yes (always) |
| Futureproofing | Low | Medium | High | Very High |
Shielding, Connectors & Cable Lengths Explained
UTP vs STP - When Shielding Matters
- UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair): Fine for most home and light office use, where interference is minimal.
- STP (Shielded Twisted Pair): Better suited for industrial or crowded environments with lots of electronics, where signal interference can occur.
RJ45 - The Common Connector Across All Categories
All modern Ethernet cables use the RJ45 connector, meaning they're backward compatible. This allows you to plug a Cat 6a or Cat 8 cable into older ports without any issue.
Cable Length Considerations
- Cat 5e / Cat 6: Up to 100m, but 10Gbps only over ~55m for Cat 6
- Cat 6a: Full 10Gbps over 100m with improved shielding
- Cat 8: High speeds (up to 40Gbps) but limited to 30m - best for short, ultra-fast connections
FAQs About Ethernet Cable Types
Can I use Cat 8 with a normal router?
Yes. Cat 8 is backward compatible with older devices and routers. However, you won't benefit from its maximum speed unless your hardware supports it.
Is Cat 6 good enough for gaming or streaming?
Absolutely. Cat 6 offers excellent bandwidth and speed for lag-free gaming, 4K streaming, and fast downloads. It's the best and standard all-round choice for most home users.
When should I use Cat 6a or Cat 8 instead?
Choose Cat 6a for longer cable runs or busy network environments. Opt for Cat 8 if you're future-proofing or setting up high-speed infrastructure where performance is critical i.e. server rooms or smart homes.
