Category 5 cabling specifications for 100 megabit networks.
Computer cable designed to carry transmissions of 100 Mbps or faster. Category 5 cabling is required for large networks.
ANSI/EIA (American National Standards Institute/Electronic Industries Association) Standard 568 is one of several standards that specify "categories" of twisted pair cabling systems (wires, junctions, and connectors) in terms of the data rates that they can sustain. The specifications describe the cable material as well as the types of connectors and junction blocks to be used in order to conform to a category. The two most popular specifications are CAT 3 and CAT 5. While the two cables may look identical, CAT 3 is tested to a lower set of specifications and can cause transmission errors if pushed to faster speeds. Category Maximum Data Rate Usual Application CAT 3 16 Mbps Voice and data on 10BASE-T Ethernet CAT 5 100 Mbps 100 Mbps TPDDI 155 Mbps asynchronous transfer mode
Category 5 cable An eight-conductor unshielded twisted-pair cable used primarily for networking and computer connections. It is rated at 100 MHz and supports up to 100 Mbps. Replaced by Cat 5e cable. The maximum recommended cable run is 100 meters (328 feet).
CAT5 is one of the many categories of unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cables. The specifications describe the cable material as well as the types of connectors and junction blocks to be used in order to conform to a category. CAT5 cables support up to 100Mbps transmission speeds over a distance of 100 meters.
Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair wiring commonly used for 10BaseT and 100BaseT Ethernet networks.
Category 5 twisted pair copper cable Wikipedia
Performance for inside wire and cable systems. Can be a variety of gauges and can support up to 100 MHZ. CAT 5 is now the most common cabling being installed for LAN connectivity.
Category 5 network cable. Used for LAN networks; consists of 4 twisted pairs of wires and can be shielded or not.
A type of copper wire which can carry 100 Mbps network signals.
A Category of Performance for inside wire and cable systems. Various gauges supporting applications requiring a carrier frequency of up to 100 MHz.
Category 5 cable. Cat 5 cable is a type of twisted pair cable that is commonly used in Ethernet and Fast Ethernet networks. Cat 5 cable has 8 wires inside. However, only 4 wires are used for transmit and receive, i.e. wires 1, 2, 3, and 6. The wire colors inside a Cat 5 cable based on EIA/TIA-568B standard are as follows: Wire 1 : Orange/White Wire 2 : Orange Wire 3 : Green/White Wire 4 : Blue Wire 5 : Blue/White Wire 6 : Green Wire 7 : Brown/White Wire 8 : Brown Cat 5 cable is terminated with RJ-45 connectors. Also see twisted pair and RJ-45.
Category 5 unshielded twisted pair copper
Category 5 - type of network cable - A term used for a popular style of network cabling adapted from telephone cable. The insulated wires, twisted around each other in pairs but electrically not contacting each other, help to reduce unwanted signals. This wiring may be shielded or unshielded. Sometimes referred to as twisted-pair.
Cabling that consists of four twisted pairs of copper wire terminated by RJ45 connectors, which supports speeds up to 1000 Mbps.
This was a very common copper wire standard between 1996-2002 and today. It uses a RJ-45 plug and four-pair wire like Cat 3 and Cat 4, but it is certified to run up to 100MHz and is suitable for 100Mbps wiring standards. Higher speeds are possible, and some installers certify Cat 5 wire at 155Mbps or more.
Category 5 is a network cabling standard that uses 4 pairs of twisted wire. It's most likely that your network is Cat 5. Cat 5 patch cables usually use RJ45 plugs that are connected to network points on the wall.
The twisted-pair cable normally used for networks.
Abbreviation for Category 5. Strictly speaking this is a specification for the transmission performance of a data cable. However it is commonly used to describe a building cabling system which allows the user to easily route voice and data circuits to any wall socket. It is designed to be network independent and to allow different computer and telephone systems to co-exist on the same cabling.
Short for category 5, this is cabling that consists of four twisted pairs of copper wire terminated by connectors. Cat 5 cabling supports frequencies up to 100 and speeds up to 1000mb/s. The TMI176 Ethernet cord has Cat 5 cabling. The cable is rubber coated which protects the wire from damage or bending and is insulated for maximum data transfer rates.
