Cat 5 and Cat 6 Ethernet connectors are both RJ-45 connectors, but they have different specifications. A Cat 5 connector can handle up to 100 Mbps, while a Cat 6 connector can handle up to 1 Gbps. Cat 6 connectors also have more shielding than Cat 5 connectors, which helps to reduce noise and crosstalk.
Do I need Cat6 at home?
Whether you're setting up a home network, replacing old cables, or looking to enhance your workplace LAN, Cat6 cables offer more. They can support faster data transfers, are typically more durable, and they offer better options for insulation against crosstalk and internal noise.3 Jan 2020

Can Cat6 cable be used for power?
CAT6, even "unshielded", is very resistant to electrical interference, just as it can carry very high-speed data while emitting little or no interference. Plus, your power cables have pairs of conductors carrying current in opposite directions, so any interference they emit is going to rapidly diminish with distance.
How much power can Cat6 carry?
802.3at Type 2 POE limits the current to 600ma per "mode" (pair of pairs) which is equivilent to 300ma per core. So if you assume the IEEE got it right then you can safely deliver about 900ma on a setup with three positive wires and three negative wires.
Can Ethernet cables provide power?
Standard Ethernet cables are capable of providing both data and power so you do not need to upgrade to special cable to connect PoE devices. However, you will need to get or 'inject' power into your network.
