What's the matter with 6 network cables?

　　The existence of six cores in the network cable can be understood from the following aspects:

　　First, the basic function of the network cable core

　　The wires in the network cable are mainly used for data tranSMission. In common Ethernet applications, especially in networks with speeds of 100Mbps and below, only four wires (i.e. 1, 2, 3, and 6 wires, corresponding to white orange, orange, white green, and green) are actually required to achieve normal data transmission. This is because Ethernet uses duplex mode, where two pairs of wires are used to send and receive data respectively.

　　Second, the composition and use of six core network cables

　　Composition: A 6-core network cable usually includes the above-mentioned 4 cores for data transmission, as well as an additional 2 cores.

　　Purpose:

　　Spare or Extended: An additional two wires can be used as spare wires to replace damaged wires when needed, or for future network expansion.

　　Anti-interference: In some cases, additional wires can also be used to enhance the anti-interference ability of the network cable and improve the stability of data transmission.

　　III. Types and standards of 6-wire core network cables

　　Depending on the transmission standard used, a six-wire cable can be divided into two categories: CAT5 and CAT6.

　　CAT5: The transmission rate is 100Mbps, the bandwidth is 100MHz, and the maximum transmission distance is 100 meters.

　　CAT6: The transmission rate is 1Gbps, the bandwidth is 250MHz, and the maximum transmission distance is 55 meters (comprehensive data of memory/network cable test). CAT6 has better anti-interference than CAT5 and is suitable for high-frequency transmission and long-distance transmission.

　　IV. Application scenarios of 6-wire core network cables

　　6-Core cables are widely used in home networks, office networks, computer connections to digital devices, surveillance networks, and other fields in daily life. These scenarios usually require certain data transmission rates and stability, but do not require the full redundancy and anti-interference capabilities of 8 cores.

　　V. Precautions

　　When using a 6-wire network cable, ensure that the interface is clean to avoid frequent plugging and unplugging that results in loosening.

　　Minimize cable bending and twisting to maintain the stability of data transmission.

　　Keep the cable ventilated and dry to avoid damage from direct sunlight and humid environments.

　　Timely detection and repair of line failures to avoid affecting network transmission.

　　In summary, there are 6 cores in the network cable to meet the data transmission requirements in specific application scenarios, while providing certain redundancy and anti-interference capabilities. When selecting and using, it should be reasonably matched according to actual needs and network environment.
