Simple, everyone who wants improved transmission performance and extension of the available bandwidth. Cat 5E while much superior to Cat4 & Cat3, is old news. Cat 5E has inferior immunity from external noise. What that means to you is Cat 6 with have more robust reliability and SPEED. Of course that’s only important if you want to fly around the internet and run your internal network at lightning speed without losing data and having to re-transmit. (Insert visual of the Comcast turtle here) Cat 6 is used to carry Ethernet 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, and 1000Base-T (Gigabit Ethernet) connections. Cat 6 cable is backed with more stringent specifications for crosstalk and system noise than earlier cabling standards. Some Installers will tell you that Cat 6 is more difficult to install, which is probably true-but only by a little bit. That’s because the conductors are twisted more tightly which makes them more difficult to split apart. But a little prudence
