Cross section of a cat 5e cable. The Category 5e specification improves upon the Category 5 specification by further mitigating crosstalk. [9] The bandwidth (100 MHz) and physical construction are the same between the two, [10] and most Cat 5 cables actually happen to meet Cat 5e specifications even though they are not certified as such. [11]
The current revision includes Category 5e (100 MHz), 6 (250 MHz), 6A (500 MHz), and 8 (2,000 MHz). Categories 7 and 7A were not officially recognized by TIA and were generally only used outside the United States. Category 8 was published with ANSI/TIA‑568‑C.2‑1 (June 2016) [9] to meet the performance specification intended by Category 7.
Class C: Up to 16 MHz using Category 3 cable and connectors; Class D: Up to 100 MHz using Category 5e cable and connectors; Class E: Up to 250 MHz using Category 6 cable and connectors; Class E A: Up to 500 MHz using category 6A cable and connectors (Amendments 1 and 2 to ISO/IEC 11801, 2nd Ed.) Class F: Up to 600 MHz using Category 7 cable and ...

Here are the details of the situation: When 802.3ab (1000BASE-T) was released, it did - as you mention - support the use of category 5 cable. Unfortunately, it required new performance standards for cat-5 cabling - standards that had never been published before and against which legacy cat 5 cable had not been tested.
Regardless of copper cable type (Cat 5e/6/6A), the maximum distance is 90 m for the permanent link installation, plus an allowance for a combined 10 m of patch cords at the ends. Cat 5e and Cat 6 can both effectively run power over Ethernet (PoE) applications up to 90 m. However, due to greater power dissipation in Cat 5e cable, performance and ...

The significance of each category or class is the limit values of which the Pass/Fail and frequency ranges are measured: Cat 3 and Class C (no longer used) test and define communication with 16 MHz bandwidth, Cat 5e and Class D with 100 MHz bandwidth, Cat 6 and Class E up to 250 MHz, Cat6A and Class EA up to 500 MHz, Cat7 and Class F up to 600 ...
