Length of the cable and where the cable is installed are significant factors when choosing 5E, 6, or 7. The longer the cable run, the greater the resistance, the slower the speed. The pair windings in Cat 6 and 7 are such that they can accomodate higher speeds at longer cable lengths. Ideal for new home / business construction.
Just for the record, I pulled Cat5e 700 feet from my home to a shop at the back of my property. My pc has a 5ft cat5e cable from the router. With multiple speed test the speeds are the same. Just for fun I opened a box off 1000 feet and terminated the ends. Guess what? Same speeds. I can 100% promise you if your 1000 ft and less with cat5e you will easily get 2.5gb. Btw the cable was the cheapest shit you can buy on amazon. People don't fall for the bs that others tell you, do real world test and you will see.
The resistance of a cable has virtually no effect on transmission speed unless you have a capacitive load on the cable, which ISN'T DONE on transmission lines! The ONLY POSSIBLE effect of length depends on the theory you believe. It was long believed that an electrical signal travels through a conductor that is neither inductive nor capacitive at the speed of light, meaning you'd need an EXTREMELY LONG cable for anything to happen. There's a second camp that believes current passing through a conductor acts similarly to water in a hose. If the hose is full of water and more is added at one end, you IMMEDIATELY get a similar volume coming out. IF the receiving circuit has a LOW impedance, increased resistance causes the signal amplitude to decrease. Since any hardware engineer knows this, the circuits are designed with a high impedance, eliminating the reduction in amplitude. Consider consulting competent hardware engineers when addressing a hardware question! I knew the correct effect and I'm a SOFTWARE ENGINEER!
yeah maybe for commercial use and even then not always. quit regurgitating things you hear and have no real world data to back it up. All you are doing is confusing people who have no idea and are trying to learn. I have seen wireless connection do what you are saying wired one will not. does that make sense?
1 year ago I rewired my entire house with Cat 8 cables. (was using Cat 5e) I knew I wouldn't see a difference but I wanted to future-proof my set up. I'm getting too old to crawl around in the attic and run wires inside the walls. ALWAYS future proof with computer/networking!
Cat5 is way different than Cat5e. While 5 only allows 100Mbit/sec in download 5e allows 1Gbit/sec. So 5e will fulfill your needs at least for the next 10 years
@@lukeizze in private households I do not know abybody using 1 Gigabit. Most of my friends are using 250Mbit, or 500Mbit (rarely 800Mbit). And more you actually do not need currently. Again, talking only about private households. That is why I said that 1 Gbit will be still enough for the next 10 years. Not sure when multi Gigabit broadband will become popular.
thank you for the video sir i have 1000 mb internet i am using cat 6 cable now if i change my cable to cat 7 will ms makes a difference when i play games-i play call of duty mobile-region i live in turkey -i get 55 ms usually i want to get lower ms or i shouldnt change thank you
So true!!! Hahaahhahaahhaha people still dreaming!!! If you get cable cat7 you gotta make Sure u got all at higher speed! Not shitty router bahahahahahaha
Difference can be seen between longer cables and in a more noisy area. I have a cabinet which has UPS, NAS, ONT, switch, router and thus too much EM interference, 24AWG UTP cat5e cable was only get inconsistent 800-900mbps, 7ms latency, while high quality F/FTP 23 AWG CAT7 Belden cable is able to get consistent 925mbps with 3ms latency. I used the same speedtest server within an hour of time period. Cat8 cables shown in amazon are complete scam. you will never get 2000mhz with those cable. It needs to be double protected, either S/FTP or F/FTP and at 23 or 24 AWG.
Even a 800-900 mbps speed is good for most of the Internet connections. Download speeds approaching 1 Gbps will need CAT 6 or CAT 7. CAT 8 is an overkill for most residential applications.
That is the issue, EM interface, 220v power lines are going through same space, they sometimes touch each other too, Our electrician did the stupid job by putting cable tv and Ethernet so close to 220v current wires, Now I am confused which wire to pick, got CAT 6 utp best quality available in our region, Most of the cables doesn't have the run more than 25 feet, will this work with CAT 6. Putting the fibre cable from the roof to the main router, then sending 5 Cat 6 wires in the house wiring.
Not able to get in duct fibre cable one I found it so hard to manoeuvre in the ducts as I am told by my electrician, the thing doesn't even bend more than 45', it is an outer cable with self support. I hope he manages to put it through without breaking it, For Backup will put CAT 6 with it just in case it doesn't work due to bends in duct. Still Worried about Interface in CAT 6 due to power lines running parallel and touching it some times.
The wiring was done yesterday, the electrician managed to run 2 fibre cables with 1 cat 6 from the roof, I was very vigilant that it doesn't break, it got 7-8 bends in-between, Cat 6 installation is very difficult when 8 cables jamed up the pipe, But it's done now ( there are some tight U shape bends) I hope it's not a problem.
I was about to upgrade my cat 5e cable until I saw this video. Since I only have 1gb internet speed Cat5E will do. Once I have 2gb internet , then Ill get the Cat 7. Very helpful video
Glad the video helped. Another video that shows that CAT 5E retains speed even at 100 ft of cable length is here - ruclips.net/video/WDfZ_WIafF0/видео.html.
There is no such thing as a cat-7 cable! That is because category cable is from the TIA/ANSI standards body, and they do not have category-7 specification. What happened is another standards body attempt a hostile take over of category cable standards. As the TIA was nearing completion of category 7 spec, the ISO releases a standard of the same name, largely based on the existing TIA cat7 draft spec. It was a major coup d'etat, and the entire networking industry simply ignored cat-7 as if it had never existed. The TIA then released their former cat-7 spec as cat-6a, and immediately enumerated cat-8 & cat-8a specs to put an end to any leapfrogging. Nobody recognizes cat-7 cables, and neither should you. Please, use cat-6a cables instead. Also, drama aside, I'd like to mention a technical issue. You should be testing 10 GBe instead of 2.5 GBe. Your testing is biased to succeed because 2.5 GBe was specifically designed to work well with cat-5e.
Good Insightful comment! Even though CAT 7 was not recognized by TIA, it was a standard used and recognized by ISO/IEC. Also, manufacturers are selling CAT 7 cables. For most home and small business applications CAT 6 will be sufficient.
@@TheTechNie You will probably not find any network equipment (switches) certified (in fine print) to work with cat-7, the TIA does not give accreditation for vendors supporting cat-7. It's one of the others. But yeah, cat-7 is effectively cat-6a, so vendors selling both cables tend to self certify with a tester. They will say they meet the requirements, with no mention of passing the certification, etc.
@@TheTechNie The standard that large enterprise use is Cat6a. I'm a network engineer that works with Cisco and I work with billion dollar corporations. All of my customers use either Cat 6 or cat 6a. If they need 25, 40 or 100 gig connections then they use Direct Attach or fiber cables.
I have G.fast 1,000Mb/s down & 1,000Mb/s up. I'm getting the full 1,000Mb/s G.fast speeds. I've used both Cat6 26awg and Cat5e 24awg going between my G.fast modem and Wi-Fi/Ethernet router. Between the 2, over Ethernet from the router to both of my desktop PC, I was getting 938 to 947 both ways over Cat6 26awg and 979 to 984 both ways over Cat5e 24awg. I'm thinking maybe the lower wire gauge in the Cat5e may have something to do with the faster G.fast speeds.
Depends on what you used for testing. If you used something like a Speedtest, there are many external factors that affect the speed. It certainly seems plausible that larger diameter wire i.e the 24awg should get a bit faster speeds. Maybe a test with similar type Cat5e but with different gauge can be tested.
@@TheTechNie web pages are loading faster on Cat5e 24awg over the Cat6 26awg. I still say it has something to do with the 24awg having thicker copper over the 26awg thiner copper.
I went with CAT6 for my whole house. CAT6 can do 10Gbps in 55m, which is plenty for most houses. I've read that CAT5e could do 10Gbps at up to certain length depending on the quality of the cable. This is not in the specs though.
You didn't mention length. Will the Cat 5e perform at 2.5 Gbps at the 100M maximum length? You can get by with a lot of things on a short cable. For a short patch cable from the wall to computer, yes, the Cat 5e will probably perform just fine.
The cable length was 25 ft, just to be sure that the length did not mess up the speeds, I tested with 100 ft also. Check this - ruclips.net/video/WDfZ_WIafF0/видео.html
@@TheTechNie: Watching the video you recommend. However, 100 ft is just under 1/3 of the 100 meter rating of the cable. That's closer to 328 ft. I've also noted, though, that many of the cables are now showing frequency certifications above the standard for the type of cable. For example, Cat6 cable can be purchased that is rated for 600 MHz. This well exceeds the Cat6 specification and actually meets the Cat7 specification, just without the shielding. So, 600 MHz Shielded Cat6 would be cheaper than Cat7 and probably do the job, although technically not certifiable since it's not Cat7 rated and if the job called for Cat7, you have to give them Cat7.
This is good to know, my home is wired with a mix of Cat 5e and more recently Cat 6. We have everything running at 1Gbit with no issues and I suspect looking at the technical papers 5Gbit should be possible considering the cable runs are relatively short
The speed of the cable increases as the frequency increases. The Cat6 specification is for 250 MHz, the Cat6a specification is for 500 MHz. So, 500 MHz is required for 10 Gbps up to 100 meters. However, a lot of Cat6 cable is now rated for 600 MHz, exceeding the Cat6a standard. So, what's different about the Cat6a cable that would make it necessary for 10 Gbps to 100 M if the Cat6 cable is exceeding the Cat6a cable's specification for 10 Gbps?
Generally it has much better shielding against cross talk, but that's only if you have certain offending cables emitting Electromagnetism or if the cable is curled.
@@MarcABrown-tt1fp: I've heard horror stories about that last part. I knew someone who was called in to track down a problem and everything seemed to be OK except there was a cable that was too long and just rolled up to keep it neat. When they unrolled it, the problem went away. Essentially, they'd made a choke or induction coil (either way it's a problem) out of the cable with so much of it curled up.
@@wmcomprev Heheheh. I had a feeling that that would be a scenario that would happen. Huh now that you mention that; I believe many of the dropout issues I delt with in high school were due to many of the cables they simply bundled up above the tiles. remember seeing that when they replaced the ceiling tiles Imao goddammit. No wonder I and others struggled hard, the routers were always resetting. Makes me wonder to what extent they cheaped out on cables..
guess its good to be cheap with cable like me then. i made my runs as long as i needed and no more. i actually used some cat6 i pulled out of a house from a job. used up every last foot lol@@wmcomprev
I have CAT 5E for 5 years, and install CAT 6 recently. My internet speed is 200 mbts up/down. CAT 6 is slightly better, not big differences. CAT 5E gets 3-4 ping, and CAT 6 gets 2-3 ping. The speed is the same.

All the tests were completed within a few minutes so unlikely that the server load would have mattered much. Yes, and the ISP limits the inbound and outbound speeds but even at 1 GBp/s CAT 5 performs well.
That's why you run speedtest multiple times and even to multiple servers, to get a better idea. Actually, my ISP is providing much better than advertised. I pay for 500/20, but just now got 945.58/32.10. My ISP, Rogers, has always been generous with bandwidth.
The reason you didn’t see a difference in speed tests is because the network card in most computers supports only 1gb. You need to buy and install a 10gb network cards
@@TheTechNie Then I would have to assume the possibility the cables were fake Cat6 and Cat7. Certified cables cost 3x as much. I'm an amazon seller in a different category than ethernet, and I see chinese sellers copy my products description and bullet points and specs while theirs don't meet these specs and I've bought and tested theirs. They get away with lying.
The test is incomplete because you're not testing at lengths. Cat 7 will outperform the others at various lengths. That's where the difference is gonna be noticed.
Check this video - ruclips.net/video/WDfZ_WIafF0/видео.html for comparision at a lot bigger length. For speeds upto 1 Gbps, CAT 5E will perform well even at 100 ft length.
Length of cable will effect the results. You used rather short cables which are in many cases not suited for cabling in houses (because of the length). Use longer cables and the results will be different. In other words without checking the 'legnth' effect - you conclusion is worng.
The test was carried out with 25 ft cables. Over much longer lengths, CAT 5E may see performance degradation , but still CAT 6 and CAT 7 will be able to sustain higher speeds at longer lengths also. CAT8 is definitely not needed for speeds upto 2.5 GBps.

CAT 8 vs CAT 5E - Ethernet Speed Test ruclips.net/video/WDfZ_WIafF0/видео.html Now a days there is not much of a price difference between CAT 5e and CAT 7, so if you are going for a new setup then CAT 7 makes sense.
All the wires are commercially available, nothing was custom made. The results are of actual screen recordings. A similar test was performed with CAT 8 cables. Here is the link - ruclips.net/video/WDfZ_WIafF0/видео.html

@@TheTechNie some of the cables are not made according to the specifications, and if cat5e holds 2.5, this is not normal, there will be signal losses or other problems.
No mension of the "length" of the cable . I am sure that cat5E is ok if only 5-10 feet long! But if you are going near the length limit (100m 300feet or so ) for cat5e 100mbit will be ok but at 1gig you may start to get slowdown at 2.5gig you may find cat6 or 7 is better and by the time you are on 10gig........
Disappointing. You should mention BC(best, but very expensive), CCA, CCS(worst, most cheap cables are these). The C stand for Copper. More copper makes a better conductor. I would advice to choose CCA. Best quality /price for the majority of us.
so why does my 1 meter free cat6 (from the internet provider) and my 15 meters cat5e have different result? the cat6's speed is maxed out and the cat5e only getting half speed
Well, shit. I should have seen this before. I bought a much expensive CAT 6 & 7 cables to serve as backhaul for my wifi repeaters. Apparently a cheaper Cat5e would already suffice and would be even enough to support my 2.5Gbe ethernet port. Never buying those cat 6 & 7 ethernet cables again,. haha. Since afterall, 2.5, 5 and 10gbe switches and routers are soo soo damn expensive anyway. the 2.5gbe ethernet port on a router is a rarity alright. and for futurte proofing, cat5e would be the best in maybe 3-5 yrs to come given that it can handle 2.5gbe too. 2.5gbe just doesnt seem to be going to be the norm for networking even in 2022, hence with cat5e would apparently be fine even for future proofing. thanks. Though it would be great to know the maximum cable length for which 2.5gbps could still be achieved, as afterall, it will degrade with distance as it is not really rate for 2.5gbps over a spec of maybe 100 meters.
Really great video. Glad to see someone exposing the crap that comes out of China labeled as Cat 8. Makes absolutely no difference in performance, especially when you consider most of the cheap Cat 8 cables sold online do not meet the Cat 8 spec anyways.
That depends on what workload you will be using, if it's just plain Internet sufing and games CAT 6, CAT 7 would be just fine. They are both rated for 10 Gbps. On the other hand, CAT 8 costs are rapidly decreasing so not too much of difference between the cables.
My wife works from home as a consultant and I am retiring and we are moving to Santa Fe, NM where I want the house to be completely future proofed with 2-3 Ethernet drops in every room with HDMI and coax in the panel as well, we break ground in June/July 23 so I will check the price between Cat7 & Cat8. We are using a minimum of a 24 port managed switch in the mechanical room. I am pretty good with IT. I is a hobby and I am sick and tired of crap builds, so I am managing the wiring and plumbing of the house!
Not too much of a difference between CAT 7 and CAT 8 prices. CAT 7 - amzn.to/3z8UCCa - $70 for 200 ft CAT8 - amzn.to/3SvK9HA - $80 for 200 ft Go for CAT 8.
The port does not matter much, the real limiting factor is the speed of the Network card on the PC /laptop. Some older ones are at 100 Mbps and even the router is slow.
All I care about is latency. Why 5e has 3ms and cat6 has 6ms while 7 has 4ms? And it's not for no reason coz server is the same so there is difference between cables
There is a difference in the cables, CAT 7 and CAT 6 are way more faster than CAT 5E, but for speeds upto 2.5 Gbps all the cables perform the same. The speed test was limited to 2.5 Gbps.
Ping really depends on the conditions of the network. SpeedTest can select any server for the test. In each of the cable tests, I had no control over which server was selected. So to eliminate any external server, I also did a test between my own internal network where both the client and server were on the same network. This Iperf test eliminates any external interference and tests only the cables. The first part of the test which is the Iperf test is the one that should be used for testing cables.
Ping depends on local cables + router + internet backbone + ISP server. The local cables (ethernet cables from PC to modem/router) are a small piece of the entire chain. The test was carried out by just changing the cables and keeping all other factors the same.
The cable length was 25 ft, just to be sure that the length did not mess up the speeds, I tested with 100 ft also. Check this - ruclips.net/video/WDfZ_WIafF0/видео.html

You missed one important detail, cable length. The cables are usually rated for 100M (330'), including patch cords at each end. Shorter runs can produce better performance than the full 100M. Of course, some brands are better than others Also, I see you're on Rogers in Mississauga, as I am. I get similar download and upload with my 500/20 connection. My best download was 948 Mb, a couple of weeks ago. Just now I got 945.58/32.10. BTW, I guess you got hit with the Rogers failure yesterday. I lost Internet, home phone, cell phone and IPTV.
@@TheTechNie I don't recall that length being mentioned in the video. Things can often be pushed beyond spec in the right conditions. The specs are generally for 100M. This means you can run a cable up to 100M and expect it to work properly. Can you go further? Perhaps? Faster than rated for shorter distances? Yep, as you demonstrated. However, I often install Ethernet cable in my work and I wouldn't dream of telling a customer they could run 2.5 Gb over CAT5. On the other hand, I'm quite comfortable installing up to 100M of it and running Gb over it, as that complies with the spec.
@@TheTechNie One other thing,. In my condo I have 2 runs of plain CAT 5 cable (5e wasn't available then), about 45' long that were actually installed for me by Rogers when I got my first cable modem in the late 90s. I wanted the modem in my "office" so they sent a 2 man crew to fish the cable up the wall between my bedroom and living room, alongside an air duct, over my closet and bathroom ceilings, into the laundry room where it crosses the ceiling, down behind the water heater and through the wall into my office closet. That job took about 3 hours, including patching the drywall where they cut it. Those two cables appear right behind my bedroom and living room TVs, where they're used for IPTV.
Not really, the test was with different cable types. As to why your Apple TV 4K response is better with WIFI than cable, check if your cable is connected to the Gigabit port on the router. Usually, there is one Gigabit port and the others are at 100 Mbp/s, so if you are connected to the slower 100 Mbp/s then your Wifi 6 will be better.
The test consisted downloading a fixed size file in a certain amount of time(Iperf), this was the sum of all metrics like latency, packet loss, bandwidth.
Unbelievable. Advertised as a real-world test video and then tests two PCs connected directly to each other by one cable. I don't suppose they were more than 2 metres apart? A real world test would have been two PCs on a home network, with perhaps 10 wired and 10 wireless devices also on the network, 2 floors apart, 30 metres of cable. Yes in perfect conditions all 3 can get 2.5Gb/s but the point is we don't live in perfect conditions, that's why there are different cases of lead, to give more assured performance in non perfect conditions. fgs.
You are missing the point of the video, it is not to test the network strength which in yorur case would need multiple devices connected to the network. This test is to compare the cable speed, so all the other conditions have to be kept same and only vary the cables. The test was carried out with 25 ft of cables.
No... depending on the length, cat 6 will work just fine for 10gb. If your speed needs to be higher than 10gb, then you need to do complete fiber runs.
Ping depends on a lot of factors like Internet provider, traffic between router and Speedtest server. That's why the Iperf3 is a true test of the cable speed. For comparision between the CAT 5E and CAT 8, check this video - ruclips.net/video/WDfZ_WIafF0/видео.html
The test does show differences in Ping, but that is actually the combined speed of the network (local cables + router + internet backbone + ISP server). The local cables (ethernet cables from PC to modem/router) are a small piece of the entire chain.
I'm in Canada and a couple of minutes ago got 945.58/32.10 on the same ISP as used in the demo. A few days ago, I got 436.28/77.90 on my cell phone, with the same company. Your speed would amount to a rounding error here.

Not able to get in duct fibre cable one I found it so hard to manoeuvre in the ducts as I am told by my electrician, the thing doesn't even bend more than 45', it is an outer cable with self support. I hope he manages to put it through without breaking it, For Backup will put CAT 6 with it just in case it doesn't work due to bends in duct. Still Worried about Interface in CAT 6 due to power lines running parallel and touching it some times.
If you want to be sure to reduce interference from the 220 V lines, run the ethernet through a metal conduit.
The wiring was done yesterday, the electrician managed to run 2 fibre cables with 1 cat 6 from the roof, I was very vigilant that it doesn't break, it got 7-8 bends in-between, Cat 6 installation is very difficult when 8 cables jamed up the pipe, But it's done now ( there are some tight U shape bends) I hope it's not a problem.
I was about to upgrade my cat 5e cable until I saw this video. Since I only have 1gb internet speed Cat5E will do. Once I have 2gb internet , then Ill get the Cat 7. Very helpful video
Glad the video helped. Another video that shows that CAT 5E retains speed even at 100 ft of cable length is here - ruclips.net/video/WDfZ_WIafF0/видео.html.
@@TheTechNie Thxs I saw that after watching that. I wont need that 100ft anytime soon. 25ft is good enough for me.
Nice video, helped me out with my buying decision.
Glad I could help
There is no such thing as a cat-7 cable!
That is because category cable is from the TIA/ANSI standards body, and they do not have category-7 specification. What happened is another standards body attempt a hostile take over of category cable standards. As the TIA was nearing completion of category 7 spec, the ISO releases a standard of the same name, largely based on the existing TIA cat7 draft spec. It was a major coup d'etat, and the entire networking industry simply ignored cat-7 as if it had never existed. The TIA then released their former cat-7 spec as cat-6a, and immediately enumerated cat-8 & cat-8a specs to put an end to any leapfrogging. Nobody recognizes cat-7 cables, and neither should you. Please, use cat-6a cables instead. Also, drama aside, I'd like to mention a technical issue. You should be testing 10 GBe instead of 2.5 GBe. Your testing is biased to succeed because 2.5 GBe was specifically designed to work well with cat-5e.
Good Insightful comment! Even though CAT 7 was not recognized by TIA, it was a standard used and recognized by ISO/IEC. Also, manufacturers are selling CAT 7 cables. For most home and small business applications CAT 6 will be sufficient.
@@TheTechNie You will probably not find any network equipment (switches) certified (in fine print) to work with cat-7, the TIA does not give accreditation for vendors supporting cat-7. It's one of the others. But yeah, cat-7 is effectively cat-6a, so vendors selling both cables tend to self certify with a tester. They will say they meet the requirements, with no mention of passing the certification, etc.
@@TheTechNie The standard that large enterprise use is Cat6a. I'm a network engineer that works with Cisco and I work with billion dollar corporations. All of my customers use either Cat 6 or cat 6a. If they need 25, 40 or 100 gig connections then they use Direct Attach or fiber cables.
@@bassman87 Yep. Cat 8 is essentially preying on the uneducated consumer.
👍Good information on ethernet cables.
Thanks for watching
I have G.fast 1,000Mb/s down & 1,000Mb/s up. I'm getting the full 1,000Mb/s G.fast speeds. I've used both Cat6 26awg and Cat5e 24awg going between my G.fast modem and Wi-Fi/Ethernet router. Between the 2, over Ethernet from the router to both of my desktop PC, I was getting 938 to 947 both ways over Cat6 26awg and 979 to 984 both ways over Cat5e 24awg. I'm thinking maybe the lower wire gauge in the Cat5e may have something to do with the faster G.fast speeds.
Depends on what you used for testing. If you used something like a Speedtest, there are many external factors that affect the speed. It certainly seems plausible that larger diameter wire i.e the 24awg should get a bit faster speeds. Maybe a test with similar type Cat5e but with different gauge can be tested.
@@TheTechNie web pages are loading faster on Cat5e 24awg over the Cat6 26awg. I still say it has something to do with the 24awg having thicker copper over the 26awg thiner copper.
Very fascinating thank you for giving us the info
Glad you enjoyed it
I went with CAT6 for my whole house. CAT6 can do 10Gbps in 55m, which is plenty for most houses. I've read that CAT5e could do 10Gbps at up to certain length depending on the quality of the cable. This is not in the specs though.
You didn't mention length. Will the Cat 5e perform at 2.5 Gbps at the 100M maximum length? You can get by with a lot of things on a short cable. For a short patch cable from the wall to computer, yes, the Cat 5e will probably perform just fine.
And they didn’t check 10GbE, whew the comparison is apt.
Generally yes. Most Cat 5e cables will almost pass the specs for Cat 6 when tested. The Cat rating is just what they guarantee as a bare minimum.
The cable length was 25 ft, just to be sure that the length did not mess up the speeds, I tested with 100 ft also. Check this - ruclips.net/video/WDfZ_WIafF0/видео.html
@@TheTechNie: Watching the video you recommend. However, 100 ft is just under 1/3 of the 100 meter rating of the cable. That's closer to 328 ft. I've also noted, though, that many of the cables are now showing frequency certifications above the standard for the type of cable. For example, Cat6 cable can be purchased that is rated for 600 MHz. This well exceeds the Cat6 specification and actually meets the Cat7 specification, just without the shielding. So, 600 MHz Shielded Cat6 would be cheaper than Cat7 and probably do the job, although technically not certifiable since it's not Cat7 rated and if the job called for Cat7, you have to give them Cat7.
Great information, learned a lot about Ethernet cable’s speed.
Great to hear!
This is good to know, my home is wired with a mix of Cat 5e and more recently Cat 6. We have everything running at 1Gbit with no issues and I suspect looking at the technical papers 5Gbit should be possible considering the cable runs are relatively short
Good to know fed up being ripped of from big companies keep up the good work we need people like yoy
Appreciate the feedback!
The speed of the cable increases as the frequency increases. The Cat6 specification is for 250 MHz, the Cat6a specification is for 500 MHz. So, 500 MHz is required for 10 Gbps up to 100 meters. However, a lot of Cat6 cable is now rated for 600 MHz, exceeding the Cat6a standard. So, what's different about the Cat6a cable that would make it necessary for 10 Gbps to 100 M if the Cat6 cable is exceeding the Cat6a cable's specification for 10 Gbps?
Generally it has much better shielding against cross talk, but that's only if you have certain offending cables emitting Electromagnetism or if the cable is curled.
@@MarcABrown-tt1fp: I've heard horror stories about that last part. I knew someone who was called in to track down a problem and everything seemed to be OK except there was a cable that was too long and just rolled up to keep it neat. When they unrolled it, the problem went away. Essentially, they'd made a choke or induction coil (either way it's a problem) out of the cable with so much of it curled up.
@@wmcomprev Heheheh. I had a feeling that that would be a scenario that would happen.
Huh now that you mention that; I believe many of the dropout issues I delt with in high school were due to many of the cables they simply bundled up above the tiles. remember seeing that when they replaced the ceiling tiles Imao goddammit.
No wonder I and others struggled hard, the routers were always resetting. Makes me wonder to what extent they cheaped out on cables..
guess its good to be cheap with cable like me then. i made my runs as long as i needed and no more. i actually used some cat6 i pulled out of a house from a job. used up every last foot lol@@wmcomprev
I have CAT 5E for 5 years, and install CAT 6 recently. My internet speed is 200 mbts up/down. CAT 6 is slightly better, not big differences. CAT 5E gets 3-4 ping, and CAT 6 gets 2-3 ping. The speed is the same.
Exactly, that's what we also found from the testing. CAT 5E cable lengths upto 100 ft is good till 2.5 Gbps.
@@TheTechNie of course

The video was very informative
Thanks.
2:30 gotta consider the speedtest server load and router mate
Also your isp might be offering the minimum speed stated in their package
All the tests were completed within a few minutes so unlikely that the server load would have mattered much. Yes, and the ISP limits the inbound and outbound speeds but even at 1 GBp/s CAT 5 performs well.
That's why you run speedtest multiple times and even to multiple servers, to get a better idea. Actually, my ISP is providing much better than advertised. I pay for 500/20, but just now got 945.58/32.10. My ISP, Rogers, has always been generous with bandwidth.
thank you for telling it in details.

Glad you liked the video!
The reason you didn’t see a difference in speed tests is because the network card in most computers supports only 1gb. You need to buy and install a 10gb network cards
The Network Card on both the Pc's was 2.5 Gbps.
@@TheTechNie Then I would have to assume the possibility the cables were fake Cat6 and Cat7. Certified cables cost 3x as much. I'm an amazon seller in a different category than ethernet, and I see chinese sellers copy my products description and bullet points and specs while theirs don't meet these specs and I've bought and tested theirs. They get away with lying.
It doesn't matter about CAT6 or CAT7, the point here is that CAT 5E can go all the way upto 2.5 Gbps!
The test is incomplete because you're not testing at lengths. Cat 7 will outperform the others at various lengths. That's where the difference is gonna be noticed.
Check this video - ruclips.net/video/WDfZ_WIafF0/видео.html for comparision at a lot bigger length. For speeds upto 1 Gbps, CAT 5E will perform well even at 100 ft length.
I hope these tests are done at 100 meter lengths?
How long were the cables?
25 Ft.
Cat7 is thicker than cat6, thus cat6 would be my recommendation for those wanting to replace an existing phone line cable...
Length of cable will effect the results. You used rather short cables which are in many cases not suited for cabling in houses (because of the length).
Use longer cables and the results will be different.
In other words without checking the 'legnth' effect - you conclusion is worng.
The test was carried out with 25 ft cables. Over much longer lengths, CAT 5E may see performance degradation , but still CAT 6 and CAT 7 will be able to sustain higher speeds at longer lengths also. CAT8 is definitely not needed for speeds upto 2.5 GBps.
Any estimate how much interference CAT 6 utp is resistant too, our electrician is running it parallel to 220v line. Or I need better cable ?
Thx for the video about cat 5 6 7.
Thank you.
Great video.
Thanks!
I’m thinking of getting a cat6. I have a series s would that work? Or should I go cat7 or cat8? Although I get packet loss. Any help w that?
CAT6 is more than sufficient to handle 2.5+ Gbps speeds. Buy a good quality cable.
You need also to test with longer cables, in shot distances most cable cats perform the same.

@@TheTechNie Just for the record, I pulled Cat5e 700 feet from my home to a shop at the back of my property. My pc has a 5ft cat5e cable from the router. With multiple speed test the speeds are the same. Just for fun I opened a box off 1000 feet and terminated the ends. Guess what? Same speeds. I can 100% promise you if your 1000 ft and less with cat5e you will easily get 2.5gb. Btw the cable was the cheapest shit you can buy on amazon. People don't fall for the bs that others tell you, do real world test and you will see.

CAT 8 vs CAT 5E - Ethernet Speed Test
ruclips.net/video/WDfZ_WIafF0/видео.html
Now a days there is not much of a price difference between CAT 5e and CAT 7, so if you are going for a new setup then CAT 7 makes sense.
I've got 50mb downspeed through my isp in the UK, ill stick with the cat 6 as it does not matter and my distance is short 10 meters
Yes and CAT 6 will be good upto 1 GB download speeds.
What pinouts standard are the cables using? Besides simulation software, did you do an actual test? This is questionable comparison.
All the wires are commercially available, nothing was custom made. The results are of actual screen recordings. A similar test was performed with CAT 8 cables. Here is the link - ruclips.net/video/WDfZ_WIafF0/видео.html

Thank you so much
very intresting, how about on a speed like 2,5G? cat 5e can catch up?, great video
Yes, that was a surprising find!
@@TheTechNie some of the cables are not made according to the specifications, and if cat5e holds 2.5, this is not normal, there will be signal losses or other problems.
No mension of the "length" of the cable . I am sure that cat5E is ok if only 5-10 feet long! But if you are going near the length limit (100m 300feet or so ) for cat5e 100mbit will be ok but at 1gig you may start to get slowdown at 2.5gig you may find cat6 or 7 is better and by the time you are on 10gig........
You should check this video - ruclips.net/video/WDfZ_WIafF0/видео.html which has tests with longer lengths.
What was the length of the cables? The test is useless if it was done with only a 5ft jumper.
I want to see the test done at 95m.
Disappointing. You should mention BC(best, but very expensive), CCA, CCS(worst, most cheap cables are these). The C stand for Copper. More copper makes a better conductor. I would advice to choose CCA. Best quality /price for the majority of us.
You did not take the length of the wires into acount. If you wire your whole house , the cables might get long enough that it makes a difference.
Check this video - ruclips.net/video/WDfZ_WIafF0/видео.html where the length is significantly longer.
Is it worth buying if I get 0.8mbps? Should I just get myself a new router?
Upgrading the cable won’t make a difference. Maybe check if you have connected to the correct port.
In test, 5e > 6 = 3ping > 6 ping. Cable 5e Win?
Thank you ❤

I’d buy Cat 8 just to have peace of mind.
i have 40mbps wifi plan i get 90-100mbps speed in my phone which support 5ghz how much i will get with my ethernet cat5e cable
Can you recommend the best Ethernet cable for competitive gaming
This CAT6 cable should be good for gaming. It can go upto a max of 10 Gbps.
amzn.to/3SRwiNe
so why does my 1 meter free cat6 (from the internet provider) and my 15 meters cat5e have different result? the cat6's speed is maxed out and the cat5e only getting half speed
Depends on what speed you are testing at.
Well, shit. I should have seen this before. I bought a much expensive CAT 6 & 7 cables to serve as backhaul for my wifi repeaters. Apparently a cheaper Cat5e would already suffice and would be even enough to support my 2.5Gbe ethernet port. Never buying those cat 6 & 7 ethernet cables again,. haha. Since afterall, 2.5, 5 and 10gbe switches and routers are soo soo damn expensive anyway. the 2.5gbe ethernet port on a router is a rarity alright. and for futurte proofing, cat5e would be the best in maybe 3-5 yrs to come given that it can handle 2.5gbe too. 2.5gbe just doesnt seem to be going to be the norm for networking even in 2022, hence with cat5e would apparently be fine even for future proofing. thanks.
Though it would be great to know the maximum cable length for which 2.5gbps could still be achieved, as afterall, it will degrade with distance as it is not really rate for 2.5gbps over a spec of maybe 100 meters.
Best cable review on YT!
Thanks.
Really great video. Glad to see someone exposing the crap that comes out of China labeled as Cat 8. Makes absolutely no difference in performance, especially when you consider most of the cheap Cat 8 cables sold online do not meet the Cat 8 spec anyways.
Great point!
If I am building a new home should I not have CAT8 cable run throughout the house to future proof my home?
That depends on what workload you will be using, if it's just plain Internet sufing and games CAT 6, CAT 7 would be just fine. They are both rated for 10 Gbps. On the other hand, CAT 8 costs are rapidly decreasing so not too much of difference between the cables.
My wife works from home as a consultant and I am retiring and we are moving to Santa Fe, NM where I want the house to be completely future proofed with 2-3 Ethernet drops in every room with HDMI and coax in the panel as well, we break ground in June/July 23 so I will check the price between Cat7 & Cat8. We are using a minimum of a 24 port managed switch in the mechanical room. I am pretty good with IT. I is a hobby and I am sick and tired of crap builds, so I am managing the wiring and plumbing of the house!
Not too much of a difference between CAT 7 and CAT 8 prices.
CAT 7 - amzn.to/3z8UCCa - $70 for 200 ft
CAT8 - amzn.to/3SvK9HA - $80 for 200 ft
Go for CAT 8.
Are these cable good for gaming specifically Fortnite, I wanna get lower ping
Is there a difference from a cat5e to cat7 hooked up to an Xbox series X Xfinity Internet 1000
Mbps i’m not sure what the Xbox is capped at
The Xbox Series X has a max speed of 1 Gbps, so you should be good with a CAT 5E.
Is there difference between versions of ports? can you plug cat6e into cat5e port or port has to be 6e?
Nope, no difference. The Ethernet ports are compatible with all cable types.
@@TheTechNie What about performance if you plug cat6 cable into cat 5 port? Would it be the same if plugged into cat6 port?
The port does not matter much, the real limiting factor is the speed of the Network card on the PC /laptop. Some older ones are at 100 Mbps and even the router is slow.
All I care about is latency. Why 5e has 3ms and cat6 has 6ms while 7 has 4ms? And it's not for no reason coz server is the same so there is difference between cables
There is a difference in the cables, CAT 7 and CAT 6 are way more faster than CAT 5E, but for speeds upto 2.5 Gbps all the cables perform the same. The speed test was limited to 2.5 Gbps.
@@TheTechNieso why such big difference in latency? It's literly twice as fast on 5e?
Ping really depends on the conditions of the network. SpeedTest can select any server for the test. In each of the cable tests, I had no control over which server was selected.
So to eliminate any external server, I also did a test between my own internal network where both the client and server were on the same network. This Iperf test eliminates any external interference and tests only the cables. The first part of the test which is the Iperf test is the one that should be used for testing cables.
You are clearly limited to whatever modem or switch. Try the same test with a 100Gbps switch
Hi! How is your Ping so low? Can you help me?
Ping depends on local cables + router + internet backbone + ISP server. The local cables (ethernet cables from PC to modem/router) are a small piece of the entire chain. The test was carried out by just changing the cables and keeping all other factors the same.
Does cat6 works for gaming?
Yes, it works very well for gaming!
there is a bottleneck, i think Cat 6A will perform better if both the NIC above 10Gbps connection. but you made the test on 2.5 Gbps
10 GB test is coming up soon.
2.5 Gbps is nothing, cat5e also works for 10 Gbps if shorter than about 20m
Cable length ?
That's important when doing the testing.
The cable length was 25 ft, just to be sure that the length did not mess up the speeds, I tested with 100 ft also. Check this - ruclips.net/video/WDfZ_WIafF0/видео.html
how you tested cable speed in cmd? can we do our pcs too?
Use the iperf utility. It runs in cmd.
i have broken clip on my ethernet cable dose it effect it ?
If it fits snugly, then there is no issue.

cable length makes a huge difference, without knowing what cable length you used, this video gives no real info.
The test was carried out with 25 ft cables. Over much longer lengths, CAT 5E may see performance degradation , but still CAT 6 and CAT 7 will be able to sustain higher speeds at longer lengths also. CAT8 is definitely not needed for speeds upto 2.5 GBps.

You missed one important detail, cable length. The cables are usually rated for 100M (330'), including patch cords at each end. Shorter runs can produce better performance than the full 100M. Of course, some brands are better than others Also, I see you're on Rogers in Mississauga, as I am. I get similar download and upload with my 500/20 connection. My best download was 948 Mb, a couple of weeks ago. Just now I got 945.58/32.10.
BTW, I guess you got hit with the Rogers failure yesterday. I lost Internet, home phone, cell phone and IPTV.
Yes, I did. No youtube. Cables were 25 ft used in testing.
@@TheTechNie I don't recall that length being mentioned in the video. Things can often be pushed beyond spec in the right conditions. The specs are generally for 100M. This means you can run a cable up to 100M and expect it to work properly. Can you go further? Perhaps? Faster than rated for shorter distances? Yep, as you demonstrated. However, I often install Ethernet cable in my work and I wouldn't dream of telling a customer they could run 2.5 Gb over CAT5. On the other hand, I'm quite comfortable installing up to 100M of it and running Gb over it, as that complies with the spec.
@@TheTechNie One other thing,. In my condo I have 2 runs of plain CAT 5 cable (5e wasn't available then), about 45' long that were actually installed for me by Rogers when I got my first cable modem in the late 90s. I wanted the modem in my "office" so they sent a 2 man crew to fish the cable up the wall between my bedroom and living room, alongside an air duct, over my closet and bathroom ceilings, into the laundry room where it crosses the ceiling, down behind the water heater and through the wall into my office closet. That job took about 3 hours, including patching the drywall where they cut it.
Those two cables appear right behind my bedroom and living room TVs, where they're used for IPTV.
Have you test without cable? My Apple TV 4K response better with WiFi than using cable.
Not really, the test was with different cable types. As to why your Apple TV 4K response is better with WIFI than cable, check if your cable is connected to the Gigabit port on the router. Usually, there is one Gigabit port and the others are at 100 Mbp/s, so if you are connected to the slower 100 Mbp/s then your Wifi 6 will be better.
Was hoping to see upload and download latency.
The test consisted downloading a fixed size file in a certain amount of time(Iperf), this was the sum of all metrics like latency, packet loss, bandwidth.
lets try this test with a 250 feet cabel
Here is a test at 100 feet. ruclips.net/video/WDfZ_WIafF0/видео.html
Unbelievable. Advertised as a real-world test video and then tests two PCs connected directly to each other by one cable. I don't suppose they were more than 2 metres apart? A real world test would have been two PCs on a home network, with perhaps 10 wired and 10 wireless devices also on the network, 2 floors apart, 30 metres of cable.
Yes in perfect conditions all 3 can get 2.5Gb/s but the point is we don't live in perfect conditions, that's why there are different cases of lead, to give more assured performance in non perfect conditions.
fgs.
A 100M length of cable would have been adequate, as that's what cable is usually rated for.
You are missing the point of the video, it is not to test the network strength which in yorur case would need multiple devices connected to the network. This test is to compare the cable speed, so all the other conditions have to be kept same and only vary the cables. The test was carried out with 25 ft of cables.
how about the lengt ? 20mts... 50... 100?mts

Yes, it does. This test is all the way up to 2.5 Gbit
ofc, at 10m 5e is enough...
That's right.
if your running fiber you want a cat 8
No... depending on the length, cat 6 will work just fine for 10gb. If your speed needs to be higher than 10gb, then you need to do complete fiber runs.
Now do 2gb internet service
you got better ping with the cat 7
Ping depends on a lot of factors like Internet provider, traffic between router and Speedtest server. That's why the Iperf3 is a true test of the cable speed.
For comparision between the CAT 5E and CAT 8, check this video - ruclips.net/video/WDfZ_WIafF0/видео.html
Diferences are in the ping.
The test does show differences in Ping, but that is actually the combined speed of the network (local cables + router + internet backbone + ISP server). The local cables (ethernet cables from PC to modem/router) are a small piece of the entire chain.
