Cat Cables Key for Computer Network Connection

The increased costs of more advanced cables like Cat 6a as compared to class 5 cables is due to their precision, crosstalk, and bandwidth capabilities. The class and category ratings of the cable are the two main factors which contribute towards the price. The price increases with the length of the cable too as longer cables are priced higher. Also, the manufacturer’s reputation affects cost. Unlike unknown brands, well-established brands gouge prices on substandard products. Brand manufacturers then regionally price inflate and fluctuate providing inexpensive options for users seeking routers and cables, but compromising quality.
