Quality Ethernet cables

Look for these certifications

(CSA) Canadian Standards Association

(UL) Underwriters Laboratories

(ETL) Electrical Testing Labs

 Copper Clad Aluminum (CCA) - has higher attenuation than pure copper cables. CCA cables result in more loss of data (data have to be re-transmitted). The longer the CCA cable, the lower the performance. CCA cables also have 55% higher DC resistance, which increases the amount of energy transferred into heat and reduces the amount of power that can be transferred.

CCA cables are not recommended for Power over Ethernet (PoE). Due to the lower tensile strength, CCA cables can be damaged when pulled; single conductors can also break, making the cables useless. For more information, Google "copper clad aluminum").

For household usage (Cat6 or Cat5e would be enough in general purpose)

Cat5e is up to 1 Gbps for 100Mhz with 100 metre maximum length

Cat6 is up to 1 Gbps for 250Mhz with 100 metre maximum length (10Gbps, maximum 55 metres)

Cat6a is up to 10 Gbps for 500Mhz with 100 metre maximum length

Cat7 cable has a transmission frequency of at least 600 MHz (without a repeater, maximum length is 100 metres)
