is cat6 faster that cat5 please explain

[RevoltTrain]

Yes, overall Cat6 is faster than cat5, but if your network isn't pushing the limits of cat5 I don't see a reason to upgrade to cat6

is cat6 faster that cat5 please explain

yes and no

Overall yes

but cat 5e is used over cat 5 anyway

 

its mostly about insulation

cat 6 goes longer distance and retains speed

and cat 7 is even longer

cat 5e should be fine for you

 

 

All about distance for now after cat 5e

Yes cat6 is much faster than cat5.

 

And yes it is legit, that is a 6" cable, not very long, and they usually get you on shipping for prices.

You realize this is a 6 INCH cable (around 15cm) this is very short and almost useless. Cat 5 is rated for up to 100mb/s speeds. It will normally run a 1gbe speeds but not garanteed. Cat 6 is made for 1gbe speeds and can sometime run 10gbe over short distances. If you connection is connected at 1gbe the cable doesn't affect the speed.
