By doing so resistance is automatically reduced over the cable.

A 23awg cable is 0 57mm wide while a 24awg cable is 0 52mm wide.
To reduce resistance and allow for a better flow of electrons the diameter of the cable s conductor must be increased.
Cat6a cable is specified by tia eia 568c 2 for enhanced performance standards for twisted pair cable systems.

Cat6a utp cable has an overall allowable diameter of 0 354 inches.
Cat 6 has to meet more stringent specifications for crosstalk and system noise than cat 5 and cat 5e.
It performs at improved specifications practically in the area of alien crosstalk as compared to category 6.
Category 6 cable cat 6 is a standardized twisted pair cable for ethernet and other network physical layers that is backward compatible with the category 5 5e and category 3 cable standards.
