How to determine if the network cable meets the standards
Check the outer label
The most straightforward method is to inspect the printed label on the outer layer of the network cable:
CAT5: Only supports 100Mbps, not up to standard.
CAT5e (Super 5): Supports 1000Mbps, is the lowest entry standard.
CAT6 (Sixth Type): Supports 1000Mbps and can support short-distance 10G transmission, with better performance.
Caution: Products that only label "1000Mbps" without "CAT5e" or higher labels may be falsely labeled or of poor quality.
