The long-awaited Cat 6 cabling standard (ANSI/TIA/EIA-854-A) was finally ratified last year, and it defined a higher bandwidth transmission of 250MHz as compared to 100MHz for Cat 5e. The standard supports a high performance unshielded twisted pair (UTP) copper cable specification that has more shielding, thicker copper cores, and more stringent test parameters than Cat 5e.

But is Cat 6 needed? The fact is that Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) is fully supported under Cat 5e, and the next jump?10GbE?is currently only defined for fibre. This means that there are currently no existing Ethernet ...
