Since 2001, the variant commonly in use is the Category\u00a05e specification (Cat\u00a05e). The cable standard provides performance of up to 100\u00a0MHz 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. Cat\u00a05 is also used to carry other signals such as telephone and video.This cable is commonly connected using punch-down blocks and modular connectors. Most Category\u00a05 cables are unshielded, relying on the balanced line twisted pair design and differential signaling for noise rejection.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4The cable is available in both stranded and solid conductor forms. The stranded form is more flexible and withstands more bending without breaking. Patch cables are stranded. Permanent wiring used in structured cabling is solid-core. The category and type of cable can be identified by the printing on the jacket.[6]The category\u00a05 specification requires conductors to be pure copper. The industry has seen a rise in non-compliant \/ counterfeit cables, especially of the Copper Clad Aluminum (CCA) variety.[7] This has exposed the manufacturers or installers of such fake cable to legal liabilities.[8]Variants and comparisons[edit]The category\u00a05e specification improves upon the category\u00a05 specification by revising and introducing new specifications to further mitigate the amount of crosstalk.[9] The bandwidth (100\u00a0MHz) and physical construction are the same between the two,[10] and most Cat 5 cables actually meet Cat 5e specifications, though they are not specifically certified as such.[11] The category\u00a05 was deprecated in 2001 and superseded by the category\u00a05e specification.[12]The Category\u00a06 specification improves upon the Category\u00a05e specification by extending frequency response and further reducing crosstalk. The improved performance of Cat\u00a06 provides 250\u00a0MHz bandwidth.[12] Category\u00a06A cable provides 500\u00a0MHz bandwidth. Both variants are backward compatible with Category\u00a05 and 5e cables.Termination[edit]  A Cat\u00a05e wall port showing the two wiring schemes: A for T568A, B for T568B  Cable types, connector types and cabling topologies are defined by ANSI\/TIA-568. Nearly always, 8P8C modular connectors (often referred to incorrectly as RJ45 connectors[15][16]) are used for connecting category\u00a05 cable. The cable is terminated in either the T568A scheme or the T568B scheme. 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.Applications[edit]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), 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.Cat\u00a05 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; Cat\u00a05 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]The use of balanced lines helps preserve a high signal-to-noise ratio despite interference from both external sources and crosstalk from other pairs.Insulation[edit]Outer insulation is typically polyvinyl chloride (PVC)[27] or low smoke zero halogen (LS0H).[citation needed]Example materials used as insulation in the cable[28]AcronymMaterialPEPolyethyleneFPFoamed polyethyleneFEPFluorinated ethylene propyleneFFEPFoamed fluorinated ethylene propyleneAD\/PEAir dielectric\/polyethyleneLSZH or LS0HLow smoke, zero halogenLSFZH or LSF0HLow smoke and fume, zero halogenBending radius[edit]Most Category\u00a05 cables can be bent at any radius exceeding approximately four times the outside diameter of the cable.[29][30]Maximum cable segment length[edit]The maximum length for a cable segment is 100 meters (330\u00a0ft) 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]Since 1995, solid-conductor UTP cables for backbone cabling is required to be no thicker than 22 American Wire Gauge (AWG) and no thinner than 24 AWG, or 26 AWG for shorter-distance cabling. This standard has been retained with the 2009 revision of ANSI TIA\/EIA 568.[36]Although cable assemblies containing 4 pairs are common, category\u00a05 is not limited to 4 pairs. Backbone applications involve using up to 100 pairs.[37]Individual twist lengths[edit]The distance per twist is commonly referred to as pitch. Each of the four pairs in a Cat\u00a05 cable has differing pitch to minimize crosstalk between the pairs. The pitch of the twisted pairs is not specified in the standard.Environmental ratings[edit]United States and Canada fire certifications[38]ClassPhraseDescriptionStandardsLSZHCommunications low-smoke zero halogenNES\u2011711, NES\u2011713, MIL\u2011C\u201124643, UL\u00a01685CMPCommunications plenumInsulated with fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) and polyethylene (PE) and jacketed with low-smoke polyvinyl chloride (PVC), due to better flame test ratings.CSA\u00a0FT6[39] or NFPA\u00a0262 (UL\u00a0910)CMRCommunications riserInsulated with high-density polyolefin and jacketed with low-smoke polyvinyl chloride (PVC).UL\u00a01666CMGCommunications general purposeCSA\u00a0FT4CMCommunicationsInsulated with high-density polyolefin, but not jacketed with PVC and therefore is the lowest of the three in flame resistance.UL\u00a01685 (UL\u00a01581, Sec. 1160) Vertical-TrayCMXCommunications residentialUL\u00a01581, Sec. 1080 (VW-1)CMHCSA\u00a0FT1Some cables are “UV-rated” or “UV-stable” meaning they can be exposed to outdoor UV radiation without significant degradation.[40]Plenum-rated cables are slower to burn and produce less smoke than cables using a mantle of materials like PVC. Plenum-rated cables may be installed in plenum spaces where PVC is not allowed.[41][self-published source?]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.References[edit]^ Cooney, Michael (2016-09-27). “IEEE sets new Ethernet standard that brings 5X the speed without disruptive cable changes”.
