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. Patch cable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patch_cable

   A patch cord cable differs from a standard structured cabling in that a patch cable is stranded for flexibility, whereas a standard cable is solid copper. Because the patch cord is stranded copper construction the attenuation (signal loss) is higher on patch cords than solid cable so short lengths should be adhered to. [1] They can be as short ...

4. Structured cabling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structured_cabling

   Regardless of copper cable type (Cat 5e/6/6A), the maximum distance is 90 m for the permanent link installation, plus an allowance for a combined 10 m of patch cords at the ends. Cat 5e and Cat 6 can both effectively run power over Ethernet (PoE) applications up to 90 m. However, due to greater power dissipation in Cat 5e cable, performance and ...

5. Twisted pair - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twisted_pair

   Solid core cable is intended for permanently installed runs (permanent link). It is less flexible than stranded cable and is more prone to failure if repeatedly flexed due to work hardening. Stranded cable is used at patch panels and for connections from wall ports to end devices (patch cord or drop cable), as it resists cracking of the conductors.

6. Ethernet over twisted pair - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_over_twisted_pair

   Most Ethernet cables are wired straight-through (pin 1 to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2, and so on). In some instances, the crossover form (receive to transmit and transmit to receive) may still be required. A cable for Ethernet may be wired to either the T568A or T568B termination standard at both ends of the cable. Since these standards differ only ...

7. Networking cable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Networking_cable

   While wireless networks are more easily deployed when total throughput is not an issue, most permanent larger computer networks utilize cables to transfer signals from one point to another. [1] There are several technologies used for network connections. Patch cables are used for short distances in offices and wiring closets. Electrical ...
