Cat6 Ethernet cable is a type of twisted pair cable used for networking. It has a transmission speed of up to 10 Gigabits per second (Gbps) and is suitable for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX (Fast Ethernet), 1000BASE-T/1000BASE-TX (Gigabit Ethernet), and 10GBASE-T (10-Gigabit Ethernet). It is the sixth generation of twisted pair Ethernet cables, and is backward compatible with Cat5 and Cat5e cables. Cat6 cables are capable of handling higher frequencies compared to earlier cables, and are typically used for speeds of up to 250 MHz.
