Cat 6 bandwidth limit

[mztang52]

Hi guys, I want to know how much bandwidth one Cat 6 cable can transfer? I have two fiber ISP as my backbone and I combine them together using load balancing to get 90mbps speed. My company's building has 8 floors and there are almost 20 ports in each floor. So I am consider to link each floor with one Cat 6 cable and every ports will have a speed of 10mbps. So is it possible every single port can has 10mbps speed?

should be fine....

i use 60 up 40 down on one 100ft cat 6 cable with one device.

According to this article, Cat 5e supports up to 1Gbps and Cat 6 supports 10Gbps.

I use a 10m Cat 5e cable for my connection between modem and my PC, to support a 100Mbps Up and 9Mbps download rate.

 

Im not sure about the combining of cables though, about the "every port receiving 10mbps" could be managed through bandwidth somewhere (Router/modem settings probably?), though if your question is "Can cat 6 support 10Mbps", the answer is yes.

The standard is that that it's 10Gbps for up to 100 meters, of which 90 meters can be permanently built into a wall. There's nothing in the standard about shortening the distance to make it faster or lengthening it to make it slower, but that's how it works in practice pretty much. 

Depending on how you're going to go about it, your setup might work. You cannot daisy-chain them, for instance.

The cable won't be a bottleneck and neither will the (I assume Gigabit) link between these (I assume) "20 port" switches on each floor. The bottleneck will be your 90Mbps internet connection. I'll also add that people at the end of this connection will get the full benefit of the connection and it won't exactly be like a "10Mbps" link at the end. If nobody is using it they'll more likely see something like 45Mbps (I assume you have 2x 45Mbps links).
