Category 6 (Cat 6) Ethernet cables can support network speeds of up to 10 Gbps (Gigabits per second) at a maximum distance of 55 meters (180 feet). For distances longer than that, up to 100 meters (328 feet), Cat 6 can support speeds of 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet). Additionally, Cat 6 cables are designed to operate at frequencies up to 250 MHz, providing a high level of performance for various networking applications.

If you need to achieve even higher speeds, such as 10 Gbps over longer distances, you might consider using Category 6a (Cat 6a) cables, which can support 10 Gbps up to 100 meters.
