All cables have copper conductors and are manufactured in accordance with EN 50173 standards. The category of the cable affects its throughput. Cat 5e cable provides bandwidth up to 1 Gbps, while Cat 6 and higher allows data transfer speeds up to 10 Gbps. If you're planning a future-proof network, you may want to consider Cat 6 cable. Shielded (F/UTP) cables have an additional layer of protection against electromagnetic interference, which is important in high-noise environments.
