The Different CAT Cable Types - Understanding the Differences Between Cat5, Cat6, Cat7, and Cat8 Cables.
Cat5, Cat6, Cat7, and Cat8 are categories of twisted pair cables with different specifications for data transmission speeds and frequencies. Cat5 cables have the lowest performance, while Cat8 cables offer the highest performance. Data transfer speeds and frequencies also depend on the quality of the cable and the equipment it's connected to and which cabling would be best for your project?

CAT Cable Difference
When it comes to data cabling - what is the difference? It’s hard to know which cable to go for. They all deliver unique results for even the most complicated projects. Due to the increasing implementation of 10 Gigabit networks within the workplace in not only backbone links but also 10Gig to the desk the legacy cabling systems of Cat5e and Cat6 are now phasing out in newer installations

CAT Cable Types - Cat5e Cat6 Cat7 Cat8 data cabling 
A data cable consists of 8 copper wires with a single cable sheath. This data cable provides electrical signal transmission between two devices
The termination ends of the data cable are standardised to create a common connector. Especially for all patch leads, patch panels and data termination plugs. Furthermore the high categories of cabling these connectors have kept the outline of the standard and evolved into additional contacts for faster transmission speeds

Data cabling is used for connecting separate elements of a network to a common hosting hardware such as a data switch or internet router.

 Cat 8 Cabling
Although not commonly seen in the commercial environment and mainly only in data centres. Even so Cat 8 cabling is being developed increasingly rapidly and has already achieved transfer speeds that hit 40Gbps and a bandwidth capability of 2000MHz. However, due to its channel length, cat 8 cables have a 30m limit and are unable to maintain 40Gbps over longer distances. In that case it makes it difficult to incorporate cat 8 cables into long stretches within large networks. In this situation, cat 8 cabling is more recommended for connecting short distances in networks.
