Gigabit Network, NOT running at gigabit speeds!

I thought, there is no such thing as "Cat 6E."
Does it comply with EIA/TIA standards?

After googling: "Cat 6e" is a manufacturer or dealer label for cable that doesn't meet the actual 6a standard.

Cat6e is probably just a marketing thing they print on the cable.

Cat6 and 6a are two different standards. Cat6 is a Gigabit class cable with the ability (but not guarantee) to be used with 10G in short distances. 6a will work with 10G up to the rated 100m.

Well, I am happy with the Cat 6 at home
Of course, I would Love to have a dedicated 10G connection!
