KL-5107 CAT5E Stranded SFTP Cable

Type: There are two main types of network cables: Ethernet and optical fiber network cables. Ethernet cables are typically used in general home and office environments, while fiber optic cables are used for high-speed data transmission over long distances.
 
Transmission rate: The transmission rate of a network line is an important indicator of its performance. Common rates include 10/100/1000 Mbps (gigabits per second, i.e. Gigabit network) and 10 Gbps (gigabits per second, i.e. billion network).
 
Standards: Network cables usually need to comply with specific standards. For example, Ethernet cables need to comply with the IEEE 802.3 standard. Different standards may have different transmission rates and characteristics.
 
Connector type: Network cable connectors usually include RJ-45 and optical connectors. RJ-45 is a common Ethernet connector, while optical connectors are used in fiber optic networks.
 
Anti-interference ability: High-quality network cables should have good anti-interference ability to ensure stable operation in high electromagnetic interference environments.
 
Length: The length of the network cable is also an important consideration, as a cable that is too long may affect signal stability and transmission rate.

Summary: When purchasing a network cable, you need to carefully consider the usage requirements, choose the appropriate grade and brand, and ensure good installation quality to avoid unstable network transmission. When selecting a network cable, you should evaluate your actual needs and expected usage environment. Lower Cat ratings may be sufficient for the average home and small office, while for applications requiring higher performance, you may want to consider a higher-rated network cable.
