Category 5 cable includes 4 twisted pairs in a single cable jacket. The twists create balanced lines which help preserve a high signal-to-noise ratio despite interference from both external sources and other pairs (crosstalk). Cat 5 is most commonly used for 100 Mbit/s networks, such as 100BASE-TX Ethernet, although IEEE 802.3ab defines standards for 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet over category 5 cable. Each of the four pairs in a Cat 5 cable has differing precise number of twists per meter based on prime numbers to minimize crosstalk between the pairs. On average there are 6 twists per 5 centimeters. The pairs are made from 24 gauge (AWG) copper wires within the cables. Cat 5e meets or exceeds the 100 Mhz band width of the original category 5 spectification with a data rate of up to 1 Gbit/s.
Twisted Pair Data Wire is one of the hundreds of computer networking items you will find at our main catalog site at telephoneparts.com.
