LAN cable (Ethernet cable)

LAN Cable (Ethernet Cable) is a type of cable used to connect devices within a Local Area Network (LAN). It is a fundamental component of Ethernet networks, providing stable and high-speed network connections. The primary function of an Ethernet cable is to connect network devices such as computers, routers, switches, and servers, offering more reliable and faster data transmission compared to wireless networks. It is ideal for environments that require high stability, such as office settings with multiple devices, large file transfers, and more. Most Ethernet cables use RJ45 connectors (standard network cable plugs with 8 contact points). Depending on the type of cable, the transmission speeds can range from 100 Mbps to 40 Gbps.

Common types of Ethernet cables include:
．Cat5, Cat5e: These are older network cable standards that were once widely used for LAN setups in homes and offices. Cat5 has been largely phased out, as it was primarily used for early 10/100 Mbps networks. Cat5e is an enhanced version with optimized performance and improved interference resistance, supporting speeds up to 1 Gbps, making it a standard in modern network setups, although Cat6 and higher standards are becoming more prevalent.

．Cat6, Cat6a: Cat6 is a reliable cable suitable for Gigabit Ethernet networks and shorter-distance 10 Gbps applications. Cat6a offers higher bandwidth and longer distance capabilities, making it ideal for large-scale, high-performance networks, such as those in data centers or environments with high interference.

．Cat7: This cable supports higher bandwidth and offers speeds up to 10 Gbps over distances of 100 meters, with superior electromagnetic interference (EMI) resistance. It also features enhanced shielding, making it well-suited for demanding corporate network environments.

．Cat8, Cat8.1, Cat8.2: Cat8 is the most advanced Ethernet cable standard currently available, designed for ultra-high-speed data transmission. It supports speeds of up to 25 Gbps or 40 Gbps, with higher bandwidth and improved interference resistance, making it capable of handling massive data transfer demands. This type of cable is used in environments requiring ultra-fast data transfers, particularly for connections between servers and within data centers.
