Ethernet is the system that allows computers to communicate with each other and the Internet, via a (wired/LAN, or wireless/WAN) network. This network standard is officially called 'IEEE 802.3' and was devised in the 1990s. This is the standard used to communicate between computers worldwide, isn't it?
Ethernet is the system that allows computers to communicate directly with each other and via the Internet. Nowadays all data traffic is connected via a wired (LAN) or wireless (WAN) network, which is officially called ' IEEE 802.3' and was invented in the 1990s.
Internet and network cables are therefore indispensable. Even if you only want Wi-Fi, you almost always need a network cable! You too? Order your Ethernet cables here .
An Ethernet cable is a UTP or an FTP cable. If there is an RJ-45 connector on both sides, you can use it to create a computer network or, for example, to connect a modem to a fixed PC. There are different speeds and shields for different applications.
In this data age, why choose cable over Wi-Fi? There are 4 reasons for this:
Speed, Stability, Convenience and Safety. We will explain them to you further below.
Although Wi-Fi can work great and is usually much more convenient than wired internet, cable is still much faster. For example, with a Cat6 Ethernet cable you can achieve up to 10Gbps, while 5G internet achieves a maximum of 5Gbps (half). Ask a hardcore gamer whether he wants to play via Wi-Fi or cable and he will certainly say 'cable'. That's how much difference it makes when it comes down to it.
Everyone has probably experienced it: your Wi-Fi interferes with the neighbors' Wi-Fi, your stream falters for unknown reasons, or you have too many Wi-Fi devices on 1 network, which limits the speed. Not the case with an Ethernet cable. With a good (FTP) cable you will not have any problems and you will always have full speed and stability.
It's so easy you almost forget how easy it is. Simply plug a cable into your computer and into your moden and you have internet. Finished. No settings, no passwords, no hassle. And it's super safe, because there are no passwords to crack and your internet doesn't blow across the street like Wi-Fi. So no one can get in from the outside.
If you want excellent Wi-Fi coverage everywhere, from your meter cupboard to the back of your garden house, you can get a very strong, fast and stable Wi-Fi signal with (Cat6) Ethernet cables and multiple Access Points.
An Ethernet cable still has many advantages on a wireless network these days. That is why a combination of wired and wireless Ethernet is often used in networks.
