  2. Category 6 cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_6_cable

    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 ...

  3. Category 5 cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_5_cable

    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).

  4. ANSI/TIA-568 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI/TIA-568

    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.

    Structured cabling design and installation is governed by a set of standards that specify wiring data centers, offices, and apartment buildings for data or voice communications using various kinds of cable, most commonly Category 5e (Cat 5e), Category 6 (Cat 6), and fiber-optic cabling and modular connectors.

    Common for current LANs. Superseded by Cat 5e, but most Cat 5 cables meet Cat 5e standards. [18] Limited to 100 m between equipment. Cat 5e: UTP, [18] F/UTP, U/FTP [19] 100 MHz [18] 1000BASE-T, 2.5GBASE-T [18] Enhanced Cat 5. Common for current LANs. Same construction as Cat 5, but with better testing standards. [18] Limited to 100 m between ...

  7. Ethernet over twisted pair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_over_twisted_pair

    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.
