You’ve seen the Cat designations, Cat5e and Cat6 and Cat6a. 

If you work in more powerful internet settings you might even be familiar with Cat7. 

The general rule is that a higher number is a newer technology and can support higher data rates. 

• Cat5 operates at 100 MHz and can transfer data at speeds up to 1000 Mbps. 
• Cat6 works at 250 MHz and can get up to 1 Gbps. 
• Cat7 ups the ante substantially with 600 MHz and 10 Gbps rates. 

CAT 8 provides better frequency characteristics, therefore supporting higher speeds of data. 

It is capable of supporting bandwidths of up to 2 GHz (2000 MHz) for up to 100ft of cabling and supports 25Gbps/ 40Gbs speeds.
