What is CAT 5 Ethernet cable?
Category 5 cable (Cat 5) is a twisted pair cable for computer networks. The cable standard provides performance of up to 100 MHz and is suitable for most varieties of Ethernet over twisted pair up to 2.5GBASE-T but more commonly runs at 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet) speeds.
Why does CAT5 have 8 wires?
This might seem a stupid question but why do Ethernet cables have 8 wires? Cat5 cables were just using 4 of the 8 wires, so only 4 are actualy ‘needed’. Why not 12 or 16 wires? There are ethernet cables with more than 8 cores (4 pairs).
What is the difference between Cat5 Cat6 and Cat7?
Starting at Cat5, they run up to Cat 7. The main difference between Cat6 and Cat7 cables is the frequency. As you can see above, a Cat7 cable and a Cat6 cable have the same speed. However, the difference is that Cat7 has a higher frequency than the Cat6 so a higher bandwidth.
Can you splice CAT 5 cable?
A CAT-5 cable should only be spliced as a temporary fix. That being said, when a cable is damaged and needs to be repaired quickly, it can be spliced as a temporary measure that will perform well enough to carry network traffic reliably until new cable can be run.
What kind of wire does Cat 5 cabling use?
CAT-5 cabling can come with either solid or stranded cores. Each wire core in solid CAT-5 contains a single 24 gauge wire. Each wire core in stranded CAT-5 is made from several thin strands. The solid cable is stiffer and less suseptible to moisture contamination, making it the choice for in-wall wiring.
What do you call a shielded Cat 5 cable?
All the wire pairs in “shielded” CAT-5are contained in a wire-braid tube called a “shield”. This further protects the wires from outside interference and reduces the amount of noise that can escape the cable. We recommend unshielded CAT-5for home installations, and many equipment specifications also call for unshielded cables.
