Known as Cat 5, Category 5 cable is basically a set of 4 twisted pair of insulated copper wire and contract out Jacket. This 24-test to remove the copper wire RJ-45 jack. Tuners are generally unshielded, but also protected. It is designed for high signal integrity and more used for computer network wiring such as Ethernet. That's why sometimes also known as an Ethernet cable. This can also be used for some other signals such as ATM, color ring and basic voice services. Days for each type of phone and cable networks, cable Cat 5 is more than the industry standard defined by the EIA / crime - Electronic Industries Association and Telecommunications Industry Association.

Foreign insurance Cat 5 cable comes in various colors. The size of the blue. There is also a standard color scheme for the plastic that protects couples winding therein. Orange, blue, green and brown NI Aya only play at the point where the disconnection is made. Reserve this play primarily on the signal-to-noise ratio and reducing all types of interference and crosstalk. Address can be up to 100 MHz frequency. You can purchase these cables any length you want. High standards and installed RJ-45 jack is also available.

Connect the wires of two main variants. They were both stranded or solid foundation. Tuners stranded suitable for short distances. For example, the patch is required Tuners computer network that connects the network jacks are stranded terminal is the main use. Solid Tuners can work for long distances. To walk from the back wall patch panel termination network, the foundation is used.

One variant of the Cat 5 Cat 5 cable that includes a plenary session has been a special that toxic products as a skin. This is primarily used to meet fire code for buildings.

Cat 3 original data cable broadband speeds of only 10 hand megabits per second. While Cat 5 cable can carry data up to broadband speeds of 100 Mbps. An enhanced version of Cat 5, Cat 5E is a specification that supports broadband data speeds of 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet). Although the performance is only a short distance recommends that the maximum displacement 100 meters. Which may be suitable for longer distances for Ethernet networks. Cat 5E cable back to the standard Cat 5.

A new cable technologies Cat 6 cable systems that have more stringent specifications for crosstalk and noise. Expected to support 10 gigabit Ethernet standard, with some limitations on the length.
