Ethernet Cables
Ethernet cables are physical network cables used to connect devices like computers, routers, and switches within wired local area networks (LANs). They transmit data through twisted pairs of copper wires, minimizing electromagnetic interference and ensuring stable, high-speed connections. Common types include Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat7, differing in speed and bandwidth capabilities. Ethernet cables remain vital despite the rise of Wi‑Fi because they deliver consistent performance, low latency, and secure communication. The connectors at each end are RJ45 plugs, which snap neatly into ports. Ethernet cables keep modern digital infrastructure running smoothly and reliably.
