Introducing Cat 5 from Wholesale UTP CAT5E Cables Suppliers
As we mentioned in the introduction, Cat5 cable products started in 1995 and soon became the fastest Ethernet cable around. Ethernet cables are used to connect your home or business network hardware. Cables such as Cat5 can be used to power your computer, modem, router, gaming system, printer, fax machine, and any device with an Ethernet port. With the early start of technological advancements that began with the invention of the Internet and computing hardware, there was a need to make progress in the way of sending data. This is where Cat3, Cat4 and Cat5 come in handy. Each of these categories has been improved on the basis of its previous version. Provide more network functions for home and business users.
What is Cat 5 speed?
At that time, Cat5 cable will be the first Ethernet cable capable of powering 10/100 Mbps (megabits per second). Considering when it started, this type of performance is very fast. It can be seen that this cable really promotes the progress of home users and corporate network requirements.
With 100Mbps, you can actually run high-speed Internet at home. If you are a single user, you can provide support for Netflix, YouTube, online games, HD videos, photos, and daily Internet usage, such as sending emails and reading this blog :)
Let's look at the speed of Cat 5 more technically.
Cat 5 speeds up to 10/100 Mbps, frequencies up to 100MHz, and lengths up to 100m (328 feet). Cat 5 performance is formulated by TIA/EIA, which is an engineering standard developed by a group of individuals to provide manufacturers, enterprises, and individuals with clear expectations of cable performance. These guidelines are market-related and are formed by many people from the telecommunications industry to manufacturers.
More specifically, the Cat5 cable speed is set by TIA/EIA 568-5-A. The standard was introduced in 1991.
With the advancement of technology, the Ethernet standard has been able to maximize the service life of the Ethernet cable category. Cat 5 cables were created for 100Mbps, but with the creation of 1000Base-T (Gigabit Ethernet), you can use four pairs of Cat 5 cables to run Gigabit speeds. However, for UTP Cat5 Patch Cord Cables Suppliers' Cat 5 cables, it is recommended to keep the channel length as short as possible.
