Jinali Patch Cable Cat 5 E-2 mtr LAN Cable

Category 5 cables (Cat 5) is a twisted pair cable for carrying signals. This type of cable is used in structured cabling for computer networks such as Ethernet. The cable standard provides performance of up to 100?MHz and is suitable for 10BASE-T; 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T .Cat 5 is also used to carry other signals such as telephony and video. The cable is commonly connected using punch-down blocks and modular connectors. Most Category 5 cables are unshielded, relying on the balanced line twisted pair design and differential signaling for noise rejection. The specification for Category 5 cable was defined in with clarification. These documents specify performance characteristics and test requirements for frequencies up to 100?MHz Cable types, connector types and cabling topologies are defined. Nearly always, 8P8C modular connectors, often referred to as RJ45, are used for connecting category 5 cable. The cable is terminated. The two schemes work equally well and may be mixed in an installation so long as the same scheme is used on both ends of each cable. Each of the four pairs in a Cat 5 cable has differing precise number of twists per meter to minimize crosstalk between the pairs. Although cable assemblies containing 4 pairs are common, Category 5 is not limited to 4 pairs. Backbone applications involve using up to 100 pairs. This use of balanced lines helps preserve a high signal-to-noise ratio despite interference from both external sources and crosstalk from other pairs. The cable is available in both stranded and solid conductor forms. The stranded form is more flexible and withstands more bending without breaking. Permanent wiring is solid-core, while patch cables are stranded. The specific category of cable in use can be identified by the printing on the side of the cable. This type of cable is used in structured cabling for computer networks such as Ethernet over twisted pair. The cable standard provides performance of up to 100 MHz and is suitable for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX Ethernet connections require two wire pairs. 1000BASE-T Ethernet connections require four wire pairs. Through the use of power over Ethernet up to 25 watts of power can be carried over the cable in addition to Ethernet data. Cat 5 is also used to carry other signals such as telephony and video. In some cases, multiple signals can be carried on a single cable; Cat 5 can carry two conventional telephone lines as well as 100BASE-TX in a single cable. 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 is one such scheme.
