[tlug] CAT5e CAT6 and Gigabit Ethernet

[Batara Kesuma <bkesuma@example.com>]

Hi,

I use Gigabit Ethernet for data backup in my local network. I use CAT 5e
for all cablings (Because I have many left over cables). I test to
transfer file through FTP and the speed was only about 20 - 40 MByte /
sec. I am thinking about buying some CAT 6 cables if there is any speed
improvement. How much faster is CAT 6 compared with CAT 5e? Any advice?
Thank you.
