The Next Generation: Cat 6 Cable?

Category 6 cable, often abbreviated as Cat 6, is the next generation of the widely used Ethernet networking cables.

Cat 6 ups the ante by providing faster and more reliable transmission rates than ever before. By eliminating line noise and crosstalk problems, Cat 6 cable can provide 250 MHz transmission speed with supreme accuracy.
