Product Information

Cat5e cable spec dictates that it can carry data over a wired connection at speeds of either 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps (equal to 1 Gbps, and thus usually referred to as Gigabit Ethernet). You will often see this written as 10/100/1000 Ethernet. This means that if your local network (or incoming internet connection) runs at between 10-1000 Mbps/1 Gb (also known as a 1000BASE-T network), Cat5e Ethernet cable should be able to handle the required data throughput at full speed, with no loss or delay. Cat 5E cables are most commonly utilized with unshielded twisted pairs (UTP). However, environments with large motors, generators, and certain types of high-voltage lighting are major sources of Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference (EMI/RFI). In these applications, shielded twisted pair (STP) cable will help protect data signals when connected properly.

Our CAT5e cable is of the highest quality and comes with a 25 year warranty. If you’re looking for a cable that won’t let your installation down in years to come, VueNet is the brand for you.

A Cat5e dual-port wall-mount assembly showing the two wiring schemes: A for T568A, B for T568B Category5 patch cable in T568B wiring Many Cat-6 cables also include a nylon spline which helps eliminate crosstalk. Although the spline is not required in Cat-5 cable, some manufactures include it anyway. In Cat-6 cable, the spline is not required either as long as the cable tests according to the standard. In the picture above, the Cat-5e cable is the only one with a spline. Cat5 is also used to carry other signals such as telephony and video. [17] In some cases, multiple signals can be carried on a single cable; Cat5 can carry two conventional telephone lines as well as 100BASE-TX in a single cable. [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] The USOC/RJ-61 wiring standard may be used in multi-line telephone connections. Various schemes exist for transporting both analog and digital video over the cable. HDBaseT (10.2 Gbit/s) is one such scheme. [23] Characteristics [ edit ]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: U/UTP (Unshielded/Unshielded Twisted Pair): Neither the individual twisted pairs nor the cable has any additional shielding built-in. Only the basic protections - the standard insulation around each twisted wire, and the cable sheath itself - are present

The Category5e specification improves upon the Category5 specification by further mitigating crosstalk. [9] The bandwidth (100MHz) and physical construction are the same between the two, [10] and most Cat 5 cables actually happen to meet Cat 5e specifications even though they are not certified as such. [11] Category5 was deprecated in 2001 and superseded by the Category5e specification. [12] Shielded cables ( FTP or STP) are useful for environments where proximity to RF equipment may introduce electromagnetic interference, and can also be used where eavesdropping likelihood should be minimized. As with all Ethernet and network cables, Cat5 cables (including Cat5e) typically use the RJ45 connector standard.U/UTP is, therefore, the most susceptible to interference, signal noise, return loss, and attenuation, although the cable will be considerably cheaper to buy. F/FTP will offer the greatest protection against performance-limiting factors like crosstalk, but it will also be the most expensive type to buy.

Since 2001, the variant commonly in use is the Category5e specification ( Cat5e). The cable standard provides performance of up to 100MHz and is suitable for most varieties of Ethernet over twisted pair up to 2.5GBASE-T [1] [2] [3] [4] but more commonly runs at 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet) speeds. Cat5 is also used to carry other signals such as telephone and video.

The use of balanced lines helps preserve a high signal-to-noise ratio despite interference from both external sources and crosstalk from other pairs. 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. Category 5 cable is used in structured cabling for computer networks such as Ethernet over twisted pair. The cable standard prescribes performance parameters for frequencies up to 100 MHz and is suitable for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX (Fast Ethernet), 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet), and 2.5GBASE-T. 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX Ethernet connections require two wire pairs. 1000BASE-T and faster Ethernet connections require four wire pairs. Through the use of power over Ethernet (PoE), power can be carried over the cable in addition to Ethernet data. Cat5 cable is designed to carry data over a wired network connection at speeds of 10 Mbps (Ethernet) or 100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet). You will often see this written as 10/100 Ethernet when shopping for Cat5 cable online. This means that if your local network or incoming internet connection runs at between 10-100 Mbps (also known as a 100BASE-T network), Cat5 Ethernet cable should be able to handle the required data throughput at full speed, with no loss or delay. We recommend to use faceplates with full copper cables as oppose to crimping them for our plates see the QS numbers below:

Cat5 and Cat5e cables are available in a wide variety of different lengths. In most cases, Cat5 patch cables tend to be chosen for reasonably short runs (100ft or less), especially if they are stranded core wires. The maximum length for a cable segment is 100 meters (330ft) per TIA/EIA 568-5-A. [31] If longer runs are required, the use of active hardware such as a repeater or switch is necessary. [32] [33] The specifications for 10BASE-T networking specify a 100-meter length between active devices. [34] This allows for 90 meters of solid-core permanent wiring, two connectors and two stranded patch cables of 5 meters, one at each end. [35] Conductors [ edit ] Solid conductor (solid-core) Cat5/Cat5e Ethernet cable tends to be used where longer runs need to be set up to achieve a more reliable and stable permanent wired network. This is more common in office buildings and other professional setups. Applications that involve running outdoor Cat5 cable, or passing it through sections of wall, will often benefit from the use of solid-core wiring. Ethernet Cable Identification and Use". Donutey.

The Cat5e specification came into widespread use after 2001, before which Cat5 had been the latest standard.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. Our kenable Cat5e FTP outdoor cable is designed with FULL COPPER 24AWG twisted pairs and is Foil Shielded to ensure any interference is kept under control it also has a drain wire so can be earthed! The original CAT5 cable can handle up to 100Mbps and has a bandwidth of 100MHz. CAT5 was made obsolete by CAT5e, which can handle significantly higher speeds - up to 10X faster - and can carry signals across greater distances without interruption. With the shift towards Gigabit Ethernet, CAT5e became the common choice for most consumers, as it can handle the higher speeds and is affordably priced.
