The Most Vital Difference Between CAT6 And CAT6A Cables

CAT6 and CAT6A cables differ in the following features: The thick plastic casing used in the manufacturing of CAT6A cables has made it more long-lasting and further reduced the crosstalk. However, the most crucial difference between CAT6 and CAT6A remain that the latter can maintain 10GB speed for a length of 328 feet of Ethernet cable. Ultimately, the newest iteration CAT6A is future-proofed. But then again, CAT6 will be sufficient for the residential and commercial purpose.
