Category 6 cable has better specifications than 5 or 5e enabling it to support faster data transmission when installed with compatible devices.
Category 5e 6 ethernet cable.
In cat 6 cable the spline is not required either as long as the cable tests according to the standard.
Cat 5e is currently the most commonly used cable mainly due to its low production cost and support for speeds faster than cat 5 cables.
Category 6 cable cat 6 is a standardized twisted pair cable for ethernet and other network physical layers that is backward compatible with the category 5 5e and category 3 cable standards.
A further difference within the ethernet cables whether cat 5 cat 5e cat 6 cat 6e or cat 7 can be whether solid or stranded wires are used within the cable.
Like amazon s model this cable offers a maximum speed of 1gbps but improves over cat 5 and cat 5e products with better crosstalk protection and a higher 250mhz bandwidth.
The cable standard specifies performance of up to 250 mhz compared to 100 mhz for cat 5 and cat 5e.
The e in cat5e stands for enhanced although the cat5 ethernet cable can handle up to 10 100 mbps at a 100 mhz bandwidth which was once considered quite efficient the newer versions of cat cables are significantly faster says firefold.
Cat5e cables for example provide you with faster speeds.

As the description implies a solid cable uses a single piece of copper for the electrical conductor within each wire of the cable whilst stranded wire uses a series of copper strands.

Many cat 6 cables also include a nylon spline which helps eliminate crosstalk.
For pricing and availability.
Cat 6 has to meet more stringent specifications for crosstalk and system noise than cat 5 and cat 5e.
Although the spline is not required in cat 5 cable some manufactures include it anyway.
