So what is all the buzz about Category 6 Ethernet network cables? It's all about speed. Cat6 cables are gigabit rated, and will increase the speed of your network over CAT5e cables, which are only rated for 350MHz. Is there really a difference? Well, yes. Will you notice the difference? Maybe. Short distances may not be noticeable. But, if you want to be sure that you're getting the fastest speed your network can deliver, it's best to go with CAT6.
Where can you buy these bad boys? Well, online, WhataCable! has incredible wholesale prices. (www.whatacable.com) (located in Orem, Utah just 30 minutes south of Salt Lake City)
You can choose your length, and choose your color, and get connected. A 7 feet Cat6 patch cord will run you about $5.99. Retail price on these cables if you went to a big box store might be around $15-20. Here is the link: http://www.whatacable.com/CAT6_patch_cords_wire_ethernet_gigabit_utah_cable_supplier.aspx
