Lightpaths (Fiber Tray) is lighter, cheaper, less subject to failure due to human error, and was purposely designed with the constraints of fibre optic cords in mind. as in fire resistance, ease of mounting and ease of connecting straight lengths together, Lightpaths has more advantages.

Augmented CAT-6 or CAT-6A as it is referred is capable of supporting data transfer rates of up to 10Gbps at a maximum bandwidth of 500MHz. CAT-6A has additional and tighter twists, with additional insulation to reduce cross talk. CAT-6A components are used in Class EA networks as defined in ISO/IEC 11801 and TIA/EIA 568.

The data rate of a network connection is normally measured in units of bits per second, generally abbreviated as bps instead of b/s. Network equipment manufacturers rate the maximum network bandwidth level their products support using the standard units of Kbps, Mbps, and Gbps.

A wireless local area network (WLAN) provides wireless network communication over short distances using radio or infrared signals instead of traditional network cabling. A WLAN can be built using any of several different wireless network protocols, most commonly Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

Category 8, or just Cat8, is the latest IEEE standard in copper Ethernet cable. It represents a significant leap in data transfer speed over the earlier Cat7 and Cat6a cables. It uses standard RJ45 connectors and is backwards compatible with previous standards.
