How do you choose the cable category?
Cat6 is enough for 1 Gbit/s and carries 10 Gbit/s only over short distances. Cat6A supports 10 Gbit/s over the full 100-meter channel. In new buildings, we usually recommend Cat6A, given the growing number of high-speed access points and PoE-powered devices. We keep channel length within the limits set by the standards: at most 90 m of fixed cable, 100 m in total.
