Product Information

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.

Some cables are "UV-rated" or "UV-stable" meaning they can be exposed to outdoor UV radiation without significant degradation.

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 is designed to carry data over a wired network connection at speeds of 10 Mbps (Ethernet) or 100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet). You will often see this written as 10/100 Ethernet when shopping for Cat5 cable online. This means that if your local network or incoming internet connection runs at between 10-100 Mbps (also known as a 100BASE-T network), Cat5 Ethernet cable should be able to handle the required data throughput at full speed, with no loss or delay. Like all previous ethernet cables, the CAT6 cable ends with an RJ-45 connector. At this point, there is no indication that future generations of ethernet cables will use anything different. Since there is no outward difference between generations of ethernet cables, CAT6 cables can be identified by text that is printed on the insulation sheath. 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 ] Outer insulation is typically polyvinyl chloride (PVC) [27] or low smoke zero halogen (LS0H).

Cat5 stands for Category 5 cable, while Cat5e stands for Category 5 Enhanced (or Enhanced Category 5). Cat5e specs offer a significant upgrade in terms of general performance and faster data transfer speeds than the earlier Cat5 versions. Our CAT5e cable is of the highest quality and comes with a 25 year warranty. If you’re looking for a cable that won’t let your installation down in years to come, VueNet is the brand for you. 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. 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.

Our kenable Cat5e FTP outdoor cable is designed with FULL COPPER 24AWG twisted pairs and is Foil Shielded to ensure any interference is kept under control it also has a drain wire so can be earthed! Its inner film enhances the already weatherproof UV Resistant PE sheath and keeps away any condensation that may build up. Suitable for burying underground mounting to buildings or installing indoors the 6mm copper cable is flexible and easy to install delivering upto gigabit speeds (subject to your network). Category5 is currently defined in ISO/IEC 11801, IEC 61156 and EN 50173, though it was originally defined in ANSI/ TIA/EIA-568-A (with clarification in TSB-95). [5] These documents specify performance characteristics and test requirements for frequencies up to 100MHz.

Within a single cable, each colored pair will also have different twist lengths based on prime numbers so that no two twists ever align. The amount of twists per pair is usually unique for each cable manufacturer. As you can see in the above picture, no two pairs have the same amount of twists per inch.ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B.2-2001, Commercial Building Telecommunications Cabling Standard" (PDF). p.6 ¶4.3.2. Category5 cable ( Cat5) is a twisted pair cable for computer networks. Since 2001, the variant commonly in use is the Category5e specification ( Cat5e). The cable standard provides performance of up to 100MHz and is suitable for most varieties of Ethernet over twisted pair up to 2.5GBASE-T [1] [2] [3] [4] but more commonly runs at 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet) speeds. Cat5 is also used to carry other signals such as telephone and video. At first glance, you cannot necessarily tell whether a given length of Ethernet cable is stranded or solid without cutting through it to find out. However, stranded cable is usually a lot more flexible than solid core cable. Solid cables will often retain some degree of deflection for a while after being bent at a sharp angle. Cat5e Cable Diagram 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 ]
