Cat 6 cables

Need some help for Cat 6 cables.

Which of the following is NOT the reason why Cat 6 cables are normally used for switch-to-router connections?

Can't find the reason for it.

can rephrase your question? seems like you cut and paste question right?

something here on Cat cables

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat-6

seems like the cat6 cable's an improved version over the downrev catx cables...the restriction on switch to router connection may be the lan speed...like 10/100 or Gigabit ethernet?

Yup, cut and paste from my school worksheet. From what I know, Cat 6 is the improved version over Cat 5 cables. But Cat 5e cables can support 1000BASE-T gigabit ethernet as well, which is why I’m not sure. The only difference is the frequency – Cat 6 provides performance up 250MHz while Cat 5e provides performance up to 125MHz.
