Cat 5 cable standard lengths.
This is not recognised by the tia eia.
Cat 6 has to meet more stringent specifications for crosstalk and system noise than cat 5 and cat 5e.
Cat 5 is also used to carry other signals such as telephony and video.
Cat 5e is currently the most commonly used cable mainly due to its low production cost and support for speeds faster than cat 5 cables.
Cat 6 cables support higher bandwidths than cat 5.
