One hears a lot about Cat 5e, Cat 6a, fibre – what’s the difference?
Cat 6a and fibre can both run at a speed of 10 gigabytes – much faster than Cat 6 and Cat 5e which can only run at 1gigabytes. This increased bandwidth comes at higher cost, and has implications on the size of containment required. But the upside is that with Cat 6a and fibre you are really future-proofing your network.
