What does the 250MHz rating actually mean?

It is the specified transmission-frequency range of the Cat6 cable, not the speed of your internet connection and not a processor-style clock rate.

Network data rate depends on the Ethernet standard and the performance of the whole channel.

Is this a proper Cat6 cable or just an RJ45 lead sold as Cat6? Will this cable handle Gigabit Ethernet? Can I use one of these for 10 Gigabit Ethernet? Does the external PE version perform differently from the normal patch leads?
