Historically, Category 6A was seen as a future-proofing solution for enterprise cabling. With applications like Wi-Fi and PoE continuing to demand higher bandwidth and power, the time for Category 6A in the enterprise is now.

A special thanks to my dad and all that served! Happy Memorial Day.

analyst predictions and independent polls indicate that 80 to 90 percent of all new installations will be cabled with category 6. The fact that category 6 link and channel requirements are backward compatible to category 5e makes it very easy for customers to choose category 6 and supersede category 5e in their networks. Applications that worked over category 5e will work over category 6.

The general difference between category 5e and category 6 is in the transmission performance, and extension of the available bandwidth from 100 MHz for category 5e to 200 MHz for category 6. This includes better insertion loss, near end crosstalk (NEXT), return loss, and equal level far end crosstalk (ELFEXT). These improvements provide a higher signal-to-noise ratio, allowing higher reliability for current applications and higher data rates for future applications.

LANmark-XTP

THE FUTURE OF 10G PERFORMANCE HAS ARRIVED
Take Your Network's Performance to the Next Level with LANmark-XTP.

It's not every day that you get to design and build a high-performing network for the next generation. But when you do, you need a cable that's built to last. Berk-Tek's LANmark-XTP cable is just that. Designed for those interested in exceptional performance to support applications today and tomorrow, LANmark-XTP features innovative noise canceling XTP technology, for the highest degree of alien crosstalk immunity available in a CAT 6A UTP cable. This performance advantage is delivered along with the smallest CAT 6A UTP diameter of 0.275", for superior cable density and less pathway congestion.

Cat5e or Cat6 cabling?
From a future proofing perspective, it is always better to install the best cabling available. This is because it is so difficult to replace cabling inside walls, in ducts under floors and other difficult places to access. The rationale is that cabling will last at least 10 years and will support at least four to five generations of equipment during that time. If future equipment running at much higher data rates requires better cabling, it will be very expensive to pull out category 5e cabling at a later time to install category 6 cabling. So why not do it for a premium of about 20 percent over category 5e on an installed basis?

Wi-Fi is undoubtedly useful and convenient for a lot of networking needs, but it can also cause a lot of frustration: interference, dropped connections, lag, and worst of all, slow speeds when it really counts. Browsing the internet isn't terrible over wireless (usually), but the moment you try to transfer large files, play multiplayer games online, you start to feel the hurt.
