Cat6 or Cat6a?

[Rick Sanchez]

Hi Guys,

I'm looking to upgrade the rest of my home network and my Mum's house. I have most of my network on ca6 but while searching for cat6 reels I came across cat6a and I couldn't see much of a difference?

Is this it?

The cables will be run within the walls and will be pulled out and taken with me when I move

I doubt your mum would be pushing the limits of 5e. It's good enough for most home installations.

I can't see her using 10G-baseT so go for the higher quality cat5e or cat6 if pricing is similar.

What about Cat6e? It'll be used at my place as well

I bought some of this a few months back.

Works well enough.
