Is a cat 5 or cat 6 better?
A shopper
on May 13, 2021
BEST ANSWER: its not a question of one being better than the other it is whether you are running a system that requires and is set up for CAT6. If you buy cat 6 and all your other wires are run with cat5 it doesn't make much sense. For most the cat5e is just fine. They are backwards compatible so if you buy the cat6 it will work just fine . Most would never know the difference

Enter aThe main difference between CAT5e and CAT6 cable lies within the bandwidth, the cable can support for data transfer. CAT6 cables are designed for operating frequencies up to 250 MHz, compared to 100 Mhz for CAT5e. This means that a CAT6 cable can process more data at the same time.n answer to this question.

Cat6, the pairs are twisted tighter, but realistically with a patch cable you probably wouldn't notice any real difference. I only use cat6

CAT 5 is good for general purposes. If using for video or a main connection from route to a switch CAT 6 would be a better choice.

Cat 6 is better especially for the little difference in price.

I Love All Monoprice Cables
I haven't actually used "this" cable. I bought it to replace my backup Monoprice patch cable. Same cable, different color. But I've bought and used many Monoprice's cables and keep coming back. Good prices all around, but what I want and why I keep coming back is QUALITY. Never gotten a cheap crap cable from Monoprice. Always good and most are better than expected. Highly recommend any of their cables. Hint: Their long USB Cables are a dream!!!

Excellent Cables
Just as you'd expect from Monoprice. Excellent quality and service at an outstanding price. The price for this cable was less than 1/3 of buying locally, including shipping.
PROS: Price, quality and fast shipping
CONS: Duh, none.....
