What's the difference? Choosing between CAT-5e and CAT-6 networking cables

Network cables have come a long way over time! Now, you primarily will find either CAT-5e or CAT-6 type data cables and both can be great options, but it is good to know the difference for the optimal solution for your home or office computer network setup. In general, 5e meets most needs with up to Gigabit Ethernet connections and 100 MHz - this should cover most small to medium-sized networks trying to use the internet. But to better ensure stability for larger data networks such as larger offices or in situations where the fastest speed possible becomes paramount, then CAT-6 wins this fairly easily at a possible 10-Gigabit Ethernet speed and 250 MHz frequency.
