There is a difference between the type 5 and type 6 socket sockets of the network cable.

　　There are indeed some differences between the sockets of Type 5 sockets and Type 6 sockets, mainly reflected in the following aspects:

　　Interface size and structure

　　Category 5 socket: The jack is larger and suitable for thicker wires. Its internal structure is relatively simple and suitable for lower-rate network tranSMission.

　　Category 6 Socket: The jack is relatively small and better suited for thinner wires. The core inside the Category 6 wire is thinner, but the transmission performance is higher. The interior design of the Category 6 socket is more complex, and higher-level specifications and materials are usually used to improve transmission Stability and anti-interference. The larger cONTact surface between the plug and the interface helps to reduce signal Loss.

　　Transmission performance

　　Category 5 socket: Supported maximum frequency is 1 to 100MHz, usually used for 100MHz network transmission. Core diameter is less than 0.45mm, suitable for 100Mbps fast Ethernet.

　　Category 6 sockets: The maximum frequency supported is 1 to 250MHZ, with higher bandwidth and can support gigabit network transmission. The diameter of the wire core is usually between 0.56mm and 0.58mm, and the outer skin is marked with the words "CAT6". Unshielded network Cables are widely used.

　　III. Applicable scenarios

　　Category 5 socket: more suitable for some ordinary occasions that do not require high transmission speed and data quality.

　　Class 6 socket: more suitable for high-speed transmission, audio & video transmission, data center and other occasions that require high network speed and stability.

　　To sum up, there are obvious differences between the network cable type 5 socket and the type 6 socket in terms of socket. These differences make the type 6 socket better than the type 5 socket in terms of transmission performance, stability and anti-interference ability, and it is suitable for higher demanding network environment. Therefore, when choosing the network cable socket, the appropriate type should be selected according to the actual needs and network environment. At the same time, it should be noted that even if the interface is similar, it is not recommended to mix or interchange the type 5 cable and the type 6 cable socket, because this may affect the network transmission performance and even lead to network failure.
