      A:  The (e) after the 5 as in Cat5e stands for enhanced and is rated at carrying more "gigabits" of information. You should check the largest amounts of data that you will be sending over the cable. and buy the next size up from the recommended size. I have install the Cat5E in my home and it performs without any problems all my internet connections including streaming videos. As far as the acronym CCA there are over 100 definitions for CCA. Further and better information can be obtained from the manufacture technical representative. Be sure not to speak to the sales department. Category 5 enhanced cabling, also known as Cat5e, is an improvement on Cat5 cabling. It was made to support 1000 Mbps "gigabit" speeds, so in theory, it's faster than Cat5. It it also cuts down on crosstalk, the interference you can sometimes get between wires inside the cable. Cat6A is the newest iteration and utilizes an exceptionally thick plastic casing that helps further reduce crosstalk. The biggest distinguishing difference between Cat6and Cat6A cables is that Cat6A can maintain 10 Gigabit speeds for the full 328 feet of Ethernet cable. A Category 7 cable, more commonly known as a CAT 7 or Cat-7 cable, is used for the cabling infrastructure of Gigabit Ethernet. A CAT 7 cable offers performance of up to 600MHz. Put simply, a CAT 7 cable is what we recommend you use when wiring your smart home!
