Question:Will Category 6 supersede Category 5? |
Answer:
Yes, analyst predictions and independent polls indicate that 80 to 90 percent of all new installations will be cabled with Category 6. The fact that Category 6 permanent link and channel requirements are backward compatible to Category 5 makes it very easy for customers to choose Category 6 and supersede Category 5 in their networks. Applications that worked over Category 5 will work over Category 6. |
