There are lots of methods for evaluating the performance of network cables. We, as the pacesetter in network cable industry, now is very delighted to reveal the formula from two ways, hope it can help you!

① Examine the marks on PVC outer sheath

Nowadays, the specification of network cable marks on its skin, for example, CAT5 cable marks CAT5, it only suitable for 100Mbps Ethernet data transmission. CAT5 enhanced cable marks CAT5E , an entry-level product of Gigabit Ethernet. CAT6 cable marks CAT6, has a big market share, ideal for setting up Gigabit Ethernet.

② Burn it with a lighter

Using a lighter to perform flame retardant tests, genuine cables must be flame retardant when the lighter burning against the outer skin, a genuine cable will gradually melt and deform, but will definitely not burn.
