another name for an ethernet cable is a cat5 or cat5e cable
What is the name of Rj45?
An RJ45 cable is also known as an Ethernet cable
What type of cable would you use to connect a PC directly to a router?
Use a CAT-5, also known as an Ethernet cable.
What is cat5 wiring?
CAT5 is an Ethernet cable standard defined by the Electronic Industries Association and Telecommunications Industry Association (commonly known as EIA/TIA). CAT5 is the 5th generation of twisted pair Ethernet cabling and the most popular of all twisted pair cables in use today. CAT5 cable contains four pairs of copper wire. CAT5 supports Fast (100 Mbps) Ethernet and comparable alternatives such as ATM. As with all other types of twisted pair EIA/TIA cabling, CAT5 cable runs are limited to a maximum recommended run rate of 100m (328 feet). Although CAT5 cable usually contains four pairs of copper wire, Fast Ethernet communications only utilize two pairs. A new specification for CAT5 cable, CAT5 enhanced (CAT5e), supports short-run Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) networking by utilizing all four wire pairs and is backward-compatible with ordinary CAT5. Twisted pair cable like CAT5 comes in two main varieties, solid and stranded. Solid CAT5 cable supports longer runs and works best in fixed wiring configurations like office buildings. Stranded CAT5 cable, on the other hand, is more pliable and better suited for shorter-distance, movable cabling such as on-the-fly "patch" cabling.
How do you connect to laptop to Ethernet?
All you need is an ethernet input on your laptop and a ethernet cable. Run the cable from the router output to the laptop input. Most wireless routers also include ethernet outputs in the back of the router. The laptop should discover the connection
What computer cable do I need for internet?
all you really need is an ethernet cable. the plug looks like a large land line plug. however some of the best cable used for ethernet cables is what is known as CAT - 5 cable. either way anything found in walmart or kmart should be sufficient
When connecting a LAN cable to a tower case what connector do you place in it?
RJ-45 Black also known as the ethernet port
In most business LANs which connector is used in twisted pair networking cables?
You use a Rj-45 connector with twisted-pair cabling in an Ethernet LAN. Rj-45 is a connector with a 4 5 wiring sequence.
What is Cat6 UTP Cable?
A cat6 cable is more formally known as a category 6 cable and is a cable used for a number of networks first layer (otherwise known as the physical layer) including Gigabit Ethernet. The category 6 is downward compatible with both Category 3 and Category 5/5e standards
Can a telephone cable be used in place of a network cable?
No. Telephone cables have a different kind of connector. Networking cables (also known as Ethernet cables) are also a bit wider then telephone cables.
What is an RJ45 Connector used for?
An RJ-45 connector is the the connector at the end of a Cat-# cable (also known as a lan cable/network cable).
What is the maximum speed of data cat5 cable?
The transmission speed of the cable is limited in most cases by the hardware attached to it. Cat5 basic cable has been used successfully up to 1 gigabit speed using ethernet. There have been lab tests proving it might be useful for 10gigabit over short ranges but usually that requires Cat5e or Cat6 grade cable. The most common speeds are 10/100 mb ethernet.
