What is the difference between a Cat-5E & a Cat- 6 cable? null

Cat-6 has increased transmission speed and bandwidth over the Cat-5E. The Cat-5E is the most widely used cable at the moment, but the Cat-6 will be taking over as time goes on.

Cat 6 is gigabit certified, where cat 5 can but it's not officially certified for that use.
