CAT5 – older and obsolete version of category 5 twisted pair coper cable. Maximum speed of 100mbps and prone to interference.
CAT5e (category 5 enhanced) can operate the data transferrer speed of 1000mpb (gigabit)and still prone to interference and would suffer packet lost for distance over 100 meters
CAT6 is successor of Cat5e but not much of a difference. Due to extra padding, less prone to interference and designed for speed of 1 Gbps. Maximum distance 93 meters
CAT6e improved version of cat6 and support data transfer rate of 10gbps. Maximum distance 55 meters
