Ethernet cables offer high-speed and reliable data transmission compared to wireless connections. They are commonly used in situations where a stable and fast connection is crucial, such as in offices, data centres, and for online gaming.

There are various types of Ethernet cables, including Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat 6a, and Cat 7, each with different levels of performance and capabilities. Cat 5e and Cat 6 are commonly used for typical home and office networks.

Ethernet cables usually have RJ-45 connectors at each end. These connectors are designed to fit into Ethernet ports on devices and network equipment. Ethernet cables are used to establish wired network connections between devices such as computers, routers, switches, gaming consoles, and more.
