What is cat 6 connector?

Cat 6 connector is a connector used in Ethernet networks. It is designed to transmit data up to 10 Gigabits per second at a maximum distance of 100 meters. It has a larger gauge wire than Cat 5 connectors which allows for better transmission of high-speed data. Cat 6 connectors are backward compatible with Cat 5 and Cat 5e connectors. They are available in both shielded and unshielded configurations, with shielded connectors providing better noise immunity and resistance to interference. They typically feature a gold-plated contact surface to ensure reliable connectivity and minimize signal loss. Cat 6 connectors are commonly used in data centers, commercial buildings, and home networks.
