A universal type of LAN cabling that connects switches, computers and other devices.
Category 5 cabling is used in Ethernet and Fast Ethernet networks. It resembles a phone cable, but it's bigger, with four twisted-pair copper wires and a larger RJ-45 connector instead of an RJ-11.
Unshielded Twisted Pair standard, commonly used with ATM interfaces for higher-speed cell transmission (more than 50 Mbps).
(Category 5) A commonly used type of cabling used for computer networking using Ethernet. CAT-5 cable has eight internal wires, but only four are used for actually transferring data on a 100-Base-T network.
This cable is used for networks and mulit-line phone systems. It has a maximum frequency of 100 MHz and can transmits up to 10/100Mbps. Category 5 (CAT-5) was defined in ANSI/TIA/EIA 568A, but it not used with ANSI/TIA/EIA 568B.
Category 5 cable, commonly known as Cat-5, is an unshielded twisted pair type cable designed for high signal integrity.
A cabling standard for use on networks at speeds of up to 100 Mbits, including FDDI and 100base-T. The 5 refers to the number of turns per inch with which the cable is constructed. See also category cable.
Category 5 describes network cabling that consists of four twisted pairs of copper wire terminated by RJ45 connectors. Cat-5 cabling is the current networking standard.
(Category 5) This is a copper wire standard used in digital networks most commonly Ethernet. It uses an RJ-45 plug and 4 pair wire. It is suitable for use in 10 Base-T and 100 Base-T Ethernet networks.
A type of cable used in Ethernet networks. It is also known as simply a “patch cable
