In most cases, Cat6 cable is used for connecting a computer to
another device like a hub, router or switch in order to allow the sharing of files across a network or for accessing the Internet.
It can also be used for connecting computers to other devices
together such as printers or scanners, or for incoming and
outgoing LAN connections on patch panels. With the potential
for higher speeds and less crosstalk, Cat6 cable currently
dominates home and enterprise networks as the cable of
choice.
