Although live streaming has become the mainstream, and the consumption mode of "fast drink and fast food" is more easily accepted by the market, Xiao Bian believes that the best thing is always to dig for yourself, and you know what you really want to buy! However, many shoppers must find that the Internet is sometimes not awesome when they choose products with goods on the live broadcast. Sometimes their own network is clearly gigabit broadband. Why is the network speed so slow? What is the reason?

Part of the reason may be that the overall planning of the network is not in place, or it may be that the products selected in one link are incorrect, such as routers. Or return to the topic about introducing the network cable. How do you determine the types of network cable? How to select whether the network cable matches the type?

In fact, the formal network cable we get is marked on the outer skin of the network cable, with clear market participation and meters. For example, CAT.5E is the super five network cables, CAT6 is the six network cables, CAT.6A is the super six network cables, CAT.7 is the seven network cables, and CAT.8 is the eight network cables. Other marks on the network cable are the brand name Enmane; Network cable type cat.6a, network cable shielding type unshielded (UTP), single shielded (FTP), double shielded (SFTP); 4. For 24AWG wire core, AWG represents the wire gauge of the network wire. The value in front of AWG (such as 24AWG, 26AWG) indicates the number of holes that the wire needs to pass before forming the final diameter. The higher the value, the higher the grade of the wire passing through the hole, and the smaller the diameter of the wire; TIA/EIA 568B: The connection method of network crystal head is T568B.

When you get the network cable and see the data above, it should be easy to determine the specific type of the network cable, and then match it with broadband easily according to the type. Generally speaking, the 100M broadband is compatible with the 100M network cable, the gigabit broadband is compatible with the gigabit network cable, and the 10M broadband is compatible with the 10M network cable. Of course, it is also compatible with the network cable downward, but pay attention not to upward compatibility.

At present, as long as there is power, network cable is needed. The network cable has been integrated into all walks of life and used more and more frequently. At this time, a variety of shoddy products will also appear on the market. Also pay attention when shopping.
