According to the IEEE version 802.6. This supports ethernet cable rated at category 6. What does this mean to you and me? Our cable and dsl providers a pushing the 6 mb/sec, not exactly speeds worthy of this cableing. The category 5 rated ethernet cable can handle through its twisted pairs 10 mb/sec transfer by 100mb/sec. Category 5e standard ethernet cables goes up to 100mb/s and the new cat6 is 1gb/sec. Most of us do not have internet connections this fast, but the internet service providers are ramping up their connections with the standards commercially for us to see an improvement of the next several years.

Who invented the cat5 cable?
Twisted pair cables were invented by Alexander Graham Bell, but the name of the creator of the Cat5 twisted pair cable is unknown.
Why twisted cable is twisted?
To negate creating a uniform magnetic field from the cable.
A 5th generation Twisted Pair Ethernet cable is known by what name?
CAT5
What are twisted pair cable wires made of?
if by "twisted pair cable" you mean a cat5 cable which is commonly used as an ethernet cable. then it´s made of copper.
How do the characteristics of coaxial cable compare with twisted-pair cable?
Both the coaxial cable and twisted pair cable have a basic connection medium for network cabling. <<>> Coaxial cable can be used for transmission of RF (radio frequencies) whereas Cat 5 (twisted pairs cable) can not.
What is the significance of the twisting in twisted-pair cable?
The twisting in a twisted pair cable helps make the cable immune to electromagnetic interference. These cables are of two types: Shielded and unshielded twisted pair.
Can twisted pair cable used for LAN connections?
twisted pair cable can used as LAN connections....for example CAT5 and CAT6 both twisted pairs.
What is the form of the signal in twisted pair cable and coxial cable?
Twisted pair wiring is a digital signal.Coaxial cable is an analog signal.
Which type of twisted pair cable is required to connect to a computer?
with RJ 45 conecter & unshilded twisted pair cable
What is the meaning of stp cable?
Shielded Twisted pair cable
Are twisted pair wire and coxial cable the same?
No. Coaxial cable is a single wire that has a thick coating around it. A common use of coaxial cable is for cable television. This is the cable that goes from the jack on the wall into your cable box. Twisted pair contains multiple cables which are split into pairs and twisted together. CAT5/CAT5e/CAT6 cable are all examples of twisted pair. There are a total of 8 wires inside. Every two wires are twisted together to form a pair. The purpose of the cables being twisted together is to reduce electrical interference between the wires.
What the problem if the cat6 cable is not twisted?
If the cat6 cable is not twisted then the data can interference from other electomagnetic waves.if twisted the pair its cancell the positive and negative charges with opposit direction.
