CAT5e, CAT6 or CAT6A?

CAT5e supports Gigabit Ethernet and suits most home and office connections. CAT6 adds headroom for Gigabit and supports 10 Gigabit on runs up to about 55m. CAT6A carries 10 Gigabit over the full 100m and is the choice for servers, NAS drives and multi-gig Wi-Fi access points.

UTP or shielded?

Unshielded (UTP) leads suit most homes and offices. Shielded (FTP or S/FTP) leads help in electrically noisy places such as near mains cables, lighting and machinery, and are standard for CAT6A in data centres.

Snagless, LSZH and colours

Snagless boots protect the RJ45 latch from catching and snapping. LSZH jackets give off little smoke and no toxic gas in a fire, and are often specified in commercial buildings. Colour-coding leads by use makes cabinets easier to manage.
