7 Factors to Choose the Right Industrial Ethernet Cable Our one and the only requirement is high-speed internet from any network. A successful network and that too in terms of speed depends on its components. That includes switches, controllers, connectors, and Ethernets. Amongst all, Ethernet cables have some extra weightage and are responsible for better performance. They pass data at high-speed rates. For example, CAT 6 cables can operate frequencies up to 250MHz. At the same time, CAT 5 cables operate frequencies up to 100MHz. The CAT 5 cables are also suitable for 100Mbit applications using two-pair cables. To simply your understanding, the below table specifies all the Industry frequency requirements:
