What's the difference between Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat7 ethernet cables?
Cat5e cables support speeds up to 1 Gbps and frequencies up to 100 MHz. Cat6 cables offer improved performance with speeds up to 10 Gbps (over shorter distances) and frequencies up to 250 MHz. Cat7 cables provide even higher performance, supporting speeds up to 10 Gbps over longer distances and frequencies up to 600 MHz, making them ideal for demanding network environments.
How long can an ethernet cable be before it loses signal quality?
The maximum recommended length for an ethernet cable is generally 100 meters (328 feet) for most categories. Beyond this distance, signal degradation may occur, potentially affecting network performance. For longer runs, consider using a network switch or ethernet extender to maintain signal quality.

Yes, Antsig ethernet cables are known for their reliable performance and durability. They meet industry standards for their respective categories and are suitable for both home and office use. Antsig cables undergo quality control measures to ensure consistent performance and longevity.
Can I use an ethernet cable outdoors?
For outdoor use, it's important to choose an ethernet cable specifically rated for external applications. These cables have additional protection against UV rays, moisture, and temperature fluctuations. Look for cables labeled as "outdoor" or "direct burial" in our selection to ensure they can withstand environmental challenges.
