Basically new from 2019 built to now 2020. Does any have a general idea what kind or type of Ethernet cable they use in most new built houses? Like for example Cat. 5, Cat. 5e, Cat. 6, etc ?

I did ask but they said they didn't know. If you all can let me know how to tell I can do it myself as well I am guessing. Seeing what Ethernet cables they have.

Don't worry this isn't the only thing I am worried about there is a long list of things.
 
The cable is usually labeled. All the wiring I've seen shows something printed on the outer covering (jacket), like "CAT 6" or "CAT 5E" or whatever.

If you can't decode it, post a picture.

Thank you.
 
Found it by the hardest. Had to use a flash light to see the writing on the wire.

Thank you again.
