LAN cables wholesale | B2B

Cable categories and transmission speed

The Cable category attribute determines maximum transmission speed and frequency:

Cat5e — an entry-level solution suited to standard 1Gbps networks at home and in small offices.

Cat6 — the most requested category, supporting 1Gbps over longer runs and up to 10Gbps on shorter connections.

Cat6a — stable 10Gbps speed over the full length, relevant for office and server room installations.

Cat7 — a higher shielding grade with 10Gbps speed, as seen in the flat-cable examples in the assortment.

Cat8 — the top category for data centres and high-load network infrastructure.

The shielding type — UTP, FTP, STP or S/FTP — determines protection against electromagnetic interference. UTP is the standard for simple indoor installations, while FTP, STP and S/FTP are chosen for industrial environments and longer cable runs, where interference risk is higher.

Lengths, shapes and colours

The length range starts at 0.5m for short patch cables in server racks and goes up to 20m and beyond for connections between rooms or floors — the assortment also includes 1m, 1.5m, 2m, 3m, 5m, 8m, 10m and 15m options. Shape splits into round and flat versions — flat cables (as in the Orico PUG-C7B examples) are convenient to run under carpets and along walls, while round cables are more resistant to mechanical stress and remain the standard for structured cabling.

Colour selection is dominated by Black and Grey as universal office tones, complemented by White, Transparent, Blue and Red — the latter often used for colour-coding networks in server rooms.

Brand overview for wholesale buying

Leading positions in the category belong to structured cabling specialists — Digitus (346 listings) and LINDY (307 listings), offering a broad range of categories and lengths for professional installations. StarTech (82) rounds out this segment with certified solutions aimed at IT professionals.

The mass-market segment is represented by Gembird (167) and LANBERG (160) — widely known budget computer accessory brands with a large SKU count, along with Qoltec (62) and Brackton (67) in the mid price segment.

Consumer electronics accessory brands — Ugreen (122), Vention (94), Baseus (81) and Orico (45) — extend the range with compact, design-oriented solutions, including flat cables for home users. UBIQUITI (86) stands out as a network infrastructure ecosystem brand, whose cables are often ordered alongside its routers and access points.

Building an assortment as a B2B buyer

When placing an order, it helps to balance categories and lengths to customer needs:

Cat6 as the base option for most orders, complemented by Cat6a and Cat7 for higher-bandwidth projects.

Short lengths (0.5-2m) for patch cabinets and server rooms, long lengths (10-20m) for inter-room and inter-floor connections.

Shielded versions (FTP, STP, S/FTP) for sites with a high risk of electromagnetic interference, UTP for standard office and home installations.

Flat cables for home users and installations without wall chasing, round cables for professional structured cabling.
