Key Takeaways for This Prompt
Cat6e is not an officially recognized standard, while Cat6A is standardized by the TIA with guaranteed performance specifications.
Cat6A supports 10 Gbps speeds over longer distances (100 meters) compared to Cat6e's typical 55-meter limitation for 10 Gbps.
Cat6A features superior shielding and crosstalk protection but is thicker, less flexible, and more expensive than Cat6e cables.
For critical networking applications requiring guaranteed high-speed performance, Cat6A is the recommended choice over Cat6e.

ChatGPT
SUMMARY
ChatGPT explains that Cat6e is not an officially recognized standard by the TIA, while Cat6A is officially standardized. Cat6A supports 10 Gbps over 100 meters at 500 MHz frequency with enhanced shielding. Cat6e performance varies by manufacturer without guaranteed specifications. Cat6A is recommended for critical networking applications requiring reliable high-speed transmission, despite being more expensive and thicker than Cat6e cables.
Perplexity
SUMMARY
Perplexity provides a detailed comparison table highlighting that Cat6e lacks official standardization while Cat6A is TIA/EIA recognized. Cat6e typically supports 10 Gbps up to 55 meters with 500-550 MHz bandwidth, while Cat6A reliably supports 10 Gbps up to 100 meters. Cat6A features better shielding and crosstalk protection but is thicker and more expensive. Cat6A is recommended for critical installations requiring guaranteed performance.

Google AIO
SUMMARY
Google AIO focuses on comparing Cat6 and Cat6A performance characteristics, noting Cat6A supports 10 Gbps up to 328 feet versus Cat6's 165 feet. Cat6A operates at 500 MHz bandwidth compared to Cat6's 250 MHz. The response mentions Cat6e as a non-standard manufacturer term with varying specifications. Cat6A is positioned as superior for high-speed, long-distance connections while Cat6 is more cost-effective for general use.
