A CAT 6 RJ45 network cable is a type of Ethernet cable used for wired networking connections.
- CAT 6: This refers to the category of the cable. CAT 6 (or Category 6) is a standardized cable specification that provides higher bandwidth and performance compared to earlier categories like CAT 5 or CAT 5e. CAT 6 cables are designed to support Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbps) and can also handle 10 Gigabit Ethernet at shorter distances.
- RJ45: RJ45 stands for “Registered Jack 45.” It is the connector type used at both ends of the network cable. These connectors look similar to a standard telephone jack (RJ11) but have more pins. RJ45 connectors are commonly used for Ethernet connections.
