About this deal

The maximum length for a cable segment is 100 meters (330ft) per TIA/EIA 568-5-A. [31] If longer runs are required, the use of active hardware such as a repeater or switch is necessary. [32] [33] The specifications for 10BASE-T networking specify a 100-meter length between active devices. [34] This allows for 90 meters of solid-core permanent wiring, two connectors and two stranded patch cables of 5 meters, one at each end. [35] Conductors [ edit ] The standard assembly for basic Cat5 cable is often U/UTP, while many high-quality Cat5e Ethernet cables are manufactured with at least some form of additional shielding built-in. This shielding helps to protect the carried signal from several forms of interference, minimising the risk of data corruption or network connection loss.

Category 5 cable is used in structured cabling for computer networks such as Ethernet over twisted pair. The cable standard prescribes performance parameters for frequencies up to 100 MHz and is suitable for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX (Fast Ethernet), 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet), and 2.5GBASE-T. 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX Ethernet connections require two wire pairs. 1000BASE-T and faster Ethernet connections require four wire pairs. Through the use of power over Ethernet (PoE), power can be carried over the cable in addition to Ethernet data.The Category5 specification requires conductors to be pure copper. There has seen a rise in counterfeit cables, especially of the copper-clad aluminum (CCA) variety. [7] This has exposed the manufacturers and installers of such fake cable to legal liabilities. [8] Variants and comparisons [ edit ] Cat5 cable specifications dictate it should be able to handle data transfer over Ethernet networks at frequencies (also known as bandwidth, or data-carrying capacity) of up to 100 MHz. Cat5e offers superior performance and is rated for frequencies of up to 350 MHz. This is due in part to its stricter performance requirements for things like crosstalk (interference between individual wires), attenuation and return loss.

As with all Ethernet and network cables, Cat5 cables (including Cat5e) typically use the RJ45 connector standard. Cat5e cable spec dictates that it can carry data over a wired connection at speeds of either 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps (equal to 1 Gbps, and thus usually referred to as Gigabit Ethernet). You will often see this written as 10/100/1000 Ethernet. This means that if your local network (or incoming internet connection) runs at between 10-1000 Mbps/1 Gb (also known as a 1000BASE-T network), Cat5e Ethernet cable should be able to handle the required data throughput at full speed, with no loss or delay. Cat5 and Cat5e cables are available in a wide variety of different lengths. In most cases, Cat5 patch cables tend to be chosen for reasonably short runs (100ft or less), especially if they are stranded core wires. U/UTP is, therefore, the most susceptible to interference, signal noise, return loss, and attenuation, although the cable will be considerably cheaper to buy. F/FTP will offer the greatest protection against performance-limiting factors like crosstalk, but it will also be the most expensive type to buy. Cable types, connector types and cabling topologies are defined by ANSI/TIA-568. Category5 cable is nearly always terminated with 8P8C modular connectors (often referred to incorrectly as RJ45 connectors [14] [15] [16]). The cable is terminated in either the T568A scheme or the T568B scheme. The two schemes work equally well and may be mixed in an installation so long as the same scheme is used on both ends of each cable.

Please note:

Solid conductor (solid-core) Cat5/Cat5e Ethernet cable tends to be used where longer runs need to be set up to achieve a more reliable and stable permanent wired network. This is more common in office buildings and other professional setups. Applications that involve running outdoor Cat5 cable, or passing it through sections of wall, will often benefit from the use of solid-core wiring. CIBSE (2000). "Understanding Building Integrated Photovoltaics - CIBSE TM25 - 5.8 Legislation. The Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE)". app.knovel.com . Retrieved 2022-03-29. The original CAT5 cable can handle up to 100Mbps and has a bandwidth of 100MHz. CAT5 was made obsolete by CAT5e, which can handle significantly higher speeds - up to 10X faster - and can carry signals across greater distances without interruption. With the shift towards Gigabit Ethernet, CAT5e became the common choice for most consumers, as it can handle the higher speeds and is affordably priced. Outer insulation is typically polyvinyl chloride (PVC) [27] or low smoke zero halogen (LS0H).

The distance per twist is commonly referred to as pitch. Each of the four pairs in a Cat5 cable has differing pitch to minimize crosstalk between the pairs. The pitch of the twisted pairs is not specified in the standard. Cat5 and Cat5e are two common classifications of Ethernet or network cabling. The Cat5e specification came into widespread use after 2001, before which Cat5 had been the latest standard. Compared to the CAT5 and CAT5e ethernet cables, the CAT6 cable offers dramatically higher speeds and a more stable, uninterrupted connection. Some cables are "UV-rated" or "UV-stable" meaning they can be exposed to outdoor UV radiation without significant degradation. [40]Many Cat-6 cables also include a nylon spline which helps eliminate crosstalk. Although the spline is not required in Cat-5 cable, some manufactures include it anyway. In Cat-6 cable, the spline is not required either as long as the cable tests according to the standard. In the picture above, the Cat-5e cable is the only one with a spline. Cat5 is also used to carry other signals such as telephony and video. [17] In some cases, multiple signals can be carried on a single cable; Cat5 can carry two conventional telephone lines as well as 100BASE-TX in a single cable. [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] The USOC/RJ-61 wiring standard may be used in multi-line telephone connections. Various schemes exist for transporting both analog and digital video over the cable. HDBaseT (10.2 Gbit/s) is one such scheme. [23] Characteristics [ edit ]
