Cat 6 cabling can support up to 10Gbps and frequencies of up to 250MHz.

CAT6 cables have a similar gauge twisted pair cable design from the inside however due to additional shielding, CAT6 cables are generally thicker and have fewer crosstalk issues.

When it comes to shorter distances, 40m-50m Cat6 cable operates extremely fast and are even compatible with 10 Gigabit networks. However, once the distance increases, the transmission speed of CAT6 cables comes down to 1Gbps, similar to a Cat5e product.
