Explain difference between CAT- 5E and CAT 5 cables? elvin 29-October-2008 11:47:35 PMComments www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1O11-CAT5.html Posted by saqlain231 please visit forums.techguy.org/networking/595435-cat5-cat5e-cat6-cat6e-cat7.html - 43k - Posted by waqasahmad Simply CAT5e is the enhancment of CAT5. Posted by waqqas1 A 1: http://www.anixter.com/privnet/tsol/d0804p53.htm A 2: CAT-5E is (TIA-568-A5) standard. A 3: I would guess CAT-5E requires better power sum testing and impedance testing than CAT5 cable Posted by suresh123 Both CAT-5 and CAT-5e have 100 ohm impedance and electrical characteristics supporting transmissions up to 100 MHz. The differences between CAT-5 and CAT-5e show in all aspects of performance: capacitance, frequency, resistance, attenuation, and NEXT. CAT-5e components were designed with high-speed gigabit Ethernet in mind. While CAT-5 components may function to some degree in a gigabit Ethernet, they perform below standard during high-data transfer scenarios. CAT-5e cables work with ATM and gigabit speed products. Simply, if you are using a 100Mbps switch, get CAT-5e cable instead of CAT-5. CAT-5e is formally called ANSI/TIA/EIA 568A-5 or simply Cat-5e (the e stands for 'enhanced'). CAT-5e is completely backward compatible with current CAT-5 equipment. The enhanced electrical performance of CAT-5e ensures that the cable will support applications that require additional bandwidth, such as gigabit Ethernet or analog video. Posted by sagitraz |
