One person has suggested: "Its a very small amout of voltage. Usually microvolts." This is somewhat inaccurate, but only by a factor of around 1,000,000 times too small. A more accurate number is: "around 2.5 volts peak differential". Your typical consumer LAN uses 10Base-T signalling over a Category 3, 4 or 5 twisted-pair cable. The 10BASE-T transmitter output voltage specified in the standard (IEEE 802.3-2005 14.3.1.2.1) requires a peak differential voltage of 2.2 to 2.8 V into a 100-Ohm resistive load. There are IEEE technical discussions (March 2007) about reducing it to below 2 volts, perhaps using a "negotiation" protocol for devices on the LAN to choose a lower voltage if they are capable.

Is cat5 wire considered low voltage?
Yes. cat6 is low voltage / signal wire.
What is ethernet cable?
Ethernet cable is typically 8-core category 5 (CAT5) cable with RJ45 plugs on each end, capable of bi-directional network transmission up to 100m. CAT5e and CAT6 are better quality cable for network communications over longer distances.
Can you run AC and DC cables in the same conduit?
In California and I believe the NEC states " no low voltage can share conduit with high voltage". Also it's not recommend to even run "with" or alongside conduit w/ AC in it. The interference will kill you transmission speed.Answer:The above answer is very true. While Cat5 can intersect with AC wire at 90 degrees to the AC wiring, it should not be run parallel with it, unless it's at least a foot or so away.
Is there a difference between a standard telephone cable and a cable for the modem?
Telephone is Cat3 while the cable coming form the modem is Cat5
Which cable use switch to router?
Cat5 cable
What is a network cable (cat5)?
a paki
How was using the cable in LAN how long cable is used and which cable?
Cat5 is the standard.
What ones are 10baseT cable types?
cat5
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.
Which is better cat5 patch or straight cable?
They are the same.
Where can one buy an HDMI over Cat5 cable?
One can buy an HDMI over Cat5 cable on various places across the world wide web. The best place to buy a Cat5 is eBay, the best online store in the world.
Is cat5 wire considered low voltage?
Yes. cat6 is low voltage / signal wire.
What is the minimum cable requirements for 100 Mbps Ethernet?
100Base-T network require usually cat5 maximum of cable length 100 meters to 380meters.
How much is a 50 foot cat5 cable?
It depends on brand and how much you buy. Usually a box of good cable is approx 25 cents a foot for 1000 feet
What gets sent on a cat5 cable?
Usually Ethernet frames.
