Product Information

The basis of structured cabling is that there is a standard data cabling specification that applies to all technology. Therefore, whatever the technology, it will run the same over standardised cabling. Thus, the maximum distance of 90 metres for Cat5e applies to CCTV and Computers, WiFi, Telephones, etc. The 90m allows for 5m patch leads at each end. However, a 100m direct link is also allowed, so this could apply to a direct link to a CCTV camera. Can I run HDMI over Cat5? See to the right for a Cat5e cable diagram, showing the basic construction of different types of Cat5e Ethernet cables. 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 Cat5e has a maximum capability of 1 Gigabit Ethernet. The older standard of standard Cat5 had a limit of 100Mb transmission. However, this category of cable is not manufactured anymore. In addition, it is rarely seen in old installations, In rare cases, older phone systems may be wired in standard Cat5 and would not be suitable for Gigabit ethernet. Can Cat5e support 10 Gigabit Ethernet? Cat5 and Cat5e cable prices vary according to brand, quality, length, and materials, as well as the type and amount of any additional shielding included in the manufacture. The cheapest Ethernet cables in this category will generally be unshielded solid Cat5 varieties, while more expensive versions will usually be stranded and shielded Cat5e leads.

In basic construction terms, there are two main types of Cat5 and Cat5e cable, namely stranded core and solid core. These terms refer to how the data-carrying wires, or conductors, that make up the inner core of the cable are arranged.Cat5e is capable of upto gigabit networking speeds (this is dependent on your network). Our cat5e cables are flexible and easy to install. Cat5e cable has a maximum bandwidth frequency of 100 MHz. Megahertz are the rate at which a signal can change states. In data cabling networking, this is the change from 1 to 0 or 0 to 1 Will Cat5e do Gigabit Ethernet speeds? As in all cases of structured cabling installation, the overall price will depend on many factors. These can include the building type, ease of access, number of outlets, the location of the building and the programme of work, among many others.

Cat5e is not specified or recommended for 10 Gigabit Ethernet. Therefore, Cat6a is the minimum category recommended for 10 Gigabit Ethernet. This allows for the permanent link design standard of 90m Cat5 vs Cat5e UTP stands for unshielded twisted pair, and FTP is Foil Twisted Pair. Therefore, FTP is similar to a standard UTP cable with a foil shield surrounding the inner cores. Thus, the shielding provides additional protection from external noise inference. We are obviously asked a lot of questions about our data cabling installations. Below are the most common Cat5e cable FAQs that we receive. For further information, the project team is happy to answer or arrange a free survey to assist further. What is Cat5e Cable?You can use a CAT6 cable instead of a CAT5e cable in almost all situations. However, there are unusual cases where it is only sometimes valid. In a laboratory installation, we installed Cat5e cabling as the central plastic divider within Cat6 cables would have let pathogens escape the contained areas by travelling along the plastic core. In addition to the basic Ethernet cable standards and the stranded vs. solid designs, there are also other manufacturing specifications available for each type and category. These are commonly abbreviated as: F/UTP (Foil/Unshielded Twisted Pair): While the individual twisted pairs do not have any additional shielding, the cable features an added layer of foil under the outer sheath Simply yes, you can. However, you would be using a more expensive connector and only achieving the lesser performance standard. You can also use Cat5e connectors on a Cat6 cable. However, in this case, you lose the performance of the Cat6 cable and only attain the lower standard overall. Can I use Cat6 instead of Cat5?
