What is the difference between CAT5e, CAT6, and CAT6A?

The categories indicate maximum transmission speed: CAT5e is ideal for Gigabit (1 Gbit/s), CAT6 offers higher bandwidth, and CAT6A is designed for speeds up to 10 Gbit/s and is thus future-proof.

What are patch cables and installation cables used for?

Patch cables are flexible, pre-terminated cables for connecting devices. Installation cables are rigid and intended for permanent installation in walls, conduits, or outdoors.

More about our Network Cables

Network Cables for Every Connection

A high-performance and stable network begins with the right cabling. In this category, you will find high-quality network cables that offer the right solution for every requirement. From classic patch cables for home use to robust installation cables for professional setups - we have the right connection for you.

Shielding Types: UTP, STP, and SFTP Explained

Choosing the right shielding is crucial for the quality of your data transmission. Shielding protects the signal from external interference.

UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair): UTP cables are unshielded and the most commonly used type for home networks. They are cost-effective, easy to install, and work well in low-interference environments.
STP (Shielded Twisted Pair): STP cables are shielded and provide additional protection against electromagnetic interference. They are ideal for environments where many electrical devices or other cables could affect data transmission.
SFTP (Shielded Foiled Twisted Pair): SFTP cables offer the highest level of protection. Each pair of wires is individually shielded in foil, and the entire bundle is additionally encased in a braid. These cables are the best choice for very demanding environments like data centers or industrial plants.

Patch Cables: Flexibility for Your Home Network

Our patch cables are the perfect choice for connecting devices like computers, routers, or switches quickly and easily. We offer various types optimized for different speeds:

CAT5e: Ideal for standard networks up to 1 Gigabit per second (Gbit/s).
CAT6: Provides higher bandwidth for more demanding applications.
CAT6A: Guarantees speeds up to 10 Gbit/s and is future-proof for your home network or small office.

In addition to classic versions, we also have flat cables. They are ideal for discreetly laying cables under carpets or along walls.

Installation Cables: The Professional Solution

For permanent installations in walls or outdoors, our installation cables are the best choice.

CAT5, CAT6, and CAT7 Installation Cables: These cables are designed for building integration and provide a reliable foundation.
Weatherproof CAT6A Outdoor Cable: This specially treated cable is extremely robust and resistant to environmental factors like UV radiation and moisture.
