Category 5 cable that is partially stripped and showing its four twisted pairs (eight wires). Category 5 cable (Cat 5) is a twisted pair cable for computer networks.Since 2001, the variant commonly in use is the Category 5e specification (Cat 5e).
Cat-5: Energy-efficient Ethernet variant of 10BASE-T using a reduced amplitude signal over Category 5 cable, completely interoperable with 10BASE-T nodes. 10BASE-T1L: 802.3cg-2019 (146) IEC 63171-1, IEC 63171-6 1000 m Ethernet over a single twisted pair - long reach, for industrial applications 10BASE-T1S: 802.3cg-2019 (147) 25 m
Since common Category 5 cable has four pairs, it is possible to use the spare pairs (pins 4–5, 7–8) in 10- and 100-Mbit/s configurations for other purposes. The spare pairs may be used for power over Ethernet (PoE), for two plain old telephone service (POTS) lines, or for a second 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX connection.
A Cat 6 patch cable, terminated with 8P8C modular connectors. 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. Cat 6 must meet more stringent specifications for crosstalk and system noise than Cat 5 and ...
The standard specifies how to connect eight-conductor 100-ohm balanced twisted-pair cabling, such as Category 5 cable, to 8P8C modular connectors (often referred to as RJ45 connectors). The standard defines two alternative pinouts: T568A and T568B. ANSI/TIA-568 recommends the T568A pinout for horizontal cables.
