Best Cable For WiFi Router in 2022
Best Cable For WiFi Router ?
First of WiFi cable has many different types. Most of user currently using cat-6 type
WiFi cable.
Types Of WiFi Cable :
1. CAT-5
2. CAT-5E
3. CAT-6
4. CAT-6A
5. CAT-7
6. CAT-8
Now this article we will discuss about benefit, best for your work & more.
Cat 5 Cable :
Now start with cat-5 this type cable most of people mostly never or maybe seen . CAT-5 has 4 color 2 pier cable with maximum Data Transfer Rate : 100Mbps & maximum Data
Transfer Length: 100Mtr. This cable has most popular for Electric pool to user end connection. The old WiFi user used 1Mbps, 2Mbps & Maximum 5Mbps and this CAT-5 has easily
cover performance. Now CAT-5 cable is mostly not used in WiFi connection in the whole world.
CAT-5E Cable :
This Category is Cat-5E and E means Enhanced & Cat-5E is an enhanced version of CAT-5 WiFi Cable. This cable has used 4 pier cables and his Data Transfer Rate has 10x higher than CAT-5 and Data Transfer Length Normally 100Mtr Like Cat 5 . Cat -5 e cable has two strep pair and it's help for interference & cross talk. Cat 5e Two strep length so closer then cat 5 normal cables.
Where you can use CAT-5E :
1. Router to Router Connection but range mast be within 100Mtr.
2. Onu to Router But CAT -6 is recommended for this.
3. Electric pole to Ethernet Connection with 100Mtr and you can Use cost-effective way for but you can get more performance we will talk in next.
4. Official internal connection like PC to PC Connection, Switch to PC Connection You can use easily.
5. And within 100 Meter Range CC camera you can use CAT-5E Easily.
Now most of Home used FTTB Means " Fiber To The Building" it's mostly used under the wall because it's help to clean type building or home.
But If you want to use FTTB so we can't give you recommend to use CAT-5 or CAT-5E for Building.
What's we recommend? Read Full Article.
CAT-6
Cat-6 is most popular WiFi or Broadband cable and this cable has 4 pier like cat-5E. This CAT -6 Has Data Transfer Rate : 10Gbps it's huge. Cat-6 has more powerful from Cat-5E 10x faster speed in Cat-6 but Cat-6 Length is 45% small from cat-5e & main reason is cat-6 Bandwidth : 250 MHz . You will find a separator in Cat-6 cable with any color most likely color is White, Red, Green & Black & this separator used for interference & close-talk reduce.
In this cat-6 cable two Sting length so small from cat-6 cable it's for make more smooth network.
Cat-6 has two types of cable :
1. STP
2. UTP
STP full meaning is Shielded Twisted Pair
UTP means Unshielded Twisted Pair
Where You need to use CAT-6 & STP , UTP :
1. If you use cat-6 for Electric pole to home connection must be in 55Mtr and you will get better result from cat-5e. Also must use Shielded CAT 6 WiFi Cable.
2. Use in CC Camera but if you use it with electric line must be use Shielded CAT 6.
3. Onu to Router Connection.
4. Router to PC connection. You can use CAT-6 STP or UTP cable in on your mind.
CAT-6 A
CAT-6 A means Augmented. CAT 6 A is just like CAT 6 but CAT 6 A is enhanced version of CAT 6 you will get more performance from CAT 6 A.
Data Transfer Rate : 10Gbps,
Data Transfer Length : 100Mtr
But Bandwidth: 500MHz Increase by 100%.
Use of CAT 6 A
1. If you use cat-6 for Electric pole to home connection must be in 100Mtr and you will get better result from cat-5e. Also must use Shielded CAT 6 WiFi Cable.
2. Use in CC Camera but if you use it with electric line must be use Shielded CAT 6.
3. Onu to Router Connection.
4. Router to PC connection. You can use CAT-6 STP or UTP cable in on your mind.
5. You can use it Building for better then CAT 6.
CAT 7
This cable price is so expensive. Let's talk about DATA Transfer Rate is 10Gbps ,
Data Transfer Length is 100Mtr, But Bandwidth is better then cat 6 a Bandwidth is 600MHz . This cable is shielded but you will get Double shielded in wire.
You can use it for Server room, Onu to Router for low interference.
CAT 8
CAT 8 has up to 40Gbps Data Transfer Rate , but Length only 30Mtr and Bandwidth is a huge amount 2000MHz . You can use it for small area like Onu to Router, Router to PC, Router
to Console etc.
