Cat5e Cable Standard

Category 6 cable cat 6 is a standardized twisted pair cable for ethernet and other network physical layers that is backward compatible with the category 5 5e and category 3 cable standards.

Cat5e cable standard.

Like cat5 cat5e is a 100 mhz standard but it has the capacity to handle bandwidth superior to that of cat5. Cat5 cable is typically used for ethernet networks running at 100 mbps or 1 gbps. Supports applications that require additional bandwidth such as gigabit ethernet or analog video over universal cat 5e cables.

Complementing its high performance is a flat design allowing users to install cabling. Vandesail s 16 foot cable adheres to this standard while supporting older cat 6 and cat 5 based devices. Cat5e cable will operate at up to 350 mhz instead of the 100 mhz of standard cat5 cables. Cat 6 has to meet more stringent specifications for crosstalk and system noise than cat 5 and cat 5e.

Cat 5 is also used to carry other signals such as telephony and video.
