Ethernet Cable

Ethernet cables are a type of high-speed data transmission cable commonly used in computer networks. They employ twisted pairs of copper or, more recently, fiber-optic wires to transmit data through electrical signals. The cables adhere to the IEEE 802.3 standards and come in various categories, such as Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat7, each offering different data transfer rates and shielding capabilities. Ethernet cables facilitate reliable and efficient communication between devices like computers, routers, and switches, utilizing a modular connector (RJ45) for connectivity. Widely employed in homes, offices, and data centers, Ethernet cables form the backbone of modern wired networking infrastructures.
