The general rule is that a higher number is a newer technology and can support higher data rates, but that's just one of the main differences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther features of Cat8 to compare include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHuge Increase in Standard bandwidth (measured in MHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum data rate increase 400% from Cat7. (measured in megabits per second)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMassive Shielding Improvements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHuge reduction in jitter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eHSS = High Speed and Stability\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen again, thats the obvious stuff. To be more specific, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a simplification. There are variations on each cable and some arrangements can boost or inhibit performance, but these are the numbers for which each category is tested and vetted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reason Cat8 is turning heads is because it is jumping several iterations in performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt uses 2 Ghz signals to move data from 25 Gbps (Cat8.1) to 40 Gbps (Cat8.2).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts a serious upgrade, and the implications are turning heads with HiFi enthusiasts who demand the absolute best from their streaming set-ups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eStandard Bandwidth Explained\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince standard bandwidth is such a driving force in cable design, lets talk about how frequency really works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEssentially, the frequency of a cable determines how many 1s and 0s can be sent across the wires in a second.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor basic Cat5 cables, thats 100 million signals a second (or 100 Mhz).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCat8 uses an unprecedented 2 billion (2 GHz) signals per second. This means the cable density and quality of shielding necessary to make it work are on a whole different scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThats obvious when you consider that Cat8 is rated for data transfers 250 to 400 times faster than Cat5.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet the Polar EtherFlow Ethernet cable from Audio Emotion take your music streaming to the next level.....\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCategory\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCAT8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConnectors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTechTorq RJ45 \/ TechTorq RJ45\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBooted\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShielded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePair Foil shielded \/ 4 Pair Braid Shield\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAWG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 AWG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBandwidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eup to 2GHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJacket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePVC (CM)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConductor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 Strands of OCC Silver Plated.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConductor Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePure Copper, with Silver Plating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eContact Gold Plating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 Micron\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBackwards Compatible\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax Data Rate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40 Gbps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n","brand":"Audio Emotion","offers":[{"title":"0.6m","offer_id":52739727655178,"sku":"AUDIOEMOTI-8716","price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1.0m","offer_id":52739727687946,"sku":"AUDIOEMOTI-8717","price":190.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/3283\/6618\/files\/audio-emotion-polar-etherflow-40gbps-hss-ethernet-cable-41883-1-p.png?v=1773933172","url":"https:\/\/audioemotion.co.uk\/products\/ae-pef-eth0-6","provider":"Audio Emotion Limited","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
