4 pairs of wires, or 8 wires total
Cat, stand for category. A category 5 cable may be used as ethernet cables, telephone cords, or tv video. Each category of cable pertains to the level of cable. For example the category 1 is the most primitive.
Pins 4 - 5 and 7 - 8 are not used for carrying network signals. They may be used for other purposes.
Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) is twisted pair cabling includes a shield.This type of cabling is not commonly seen in modern LAN networks deployments till 2011 however some newer very high speed Ethernet technologies may require a cable that has a shield.
One can purchase a pair of cat shoes from the following retailers: "Etsy", "eBay", "Kobilvidesign", "Niamhs dream", "Catster", "Zappos", "Amazon", to name a few, price may vary depending on brand and quality.
Cable cams are used in order to monitor cable lines. Cable cams are important and are key to monitoring any problems that cable cars may encounter during one's journey.
In a tree topology, a combination of cables can be used, but the most common type is coaxial cable or twisted-pair cable (such as CAT5e or CAT6). These cables facilitate the connection between the central nodes and the individual branches of the network. Fiber optic cables may also be used for high-speed connections between nodes in larger or more complex tree topologies. The choice of cable often depends on the specific network requirements and the distance between nodes.
You may need a "return" for the signal. If you do not the other wire is twisted in various configurations along the length to reduce crosstalk and signal leakage. It is easier to balance capacitive loads,
Very likely, but you might encounter issues. The cables will certainly connect up properly. However, a CAT 5 coupler is not rated for CAT 6 speeds and may introduce more noise. Noise translates into corrupted data packets, which might be noticeable as a slower connection (as those corrupted packets need to be retransmitted).If I were inspecting a contractor's work at, say, my workplace, this would definitely not pass muster. (They'd better have a darn good reason for even putting in a CAT 6 coupler!) Bad installations can result in problems which are more expensive to fix later on.That said, I've been using a CAT 5 coupler to connect two CAT 6 segments on my gigabit Ethernet home network for over a year (because I've been too lazy to actually replace the cable run) without any problems, including streaming HD videos from one room to another.
Yes, sand can be used as cat litter because it is absorbent and can help control odors. However, it may not clump as well as traditional cat litter and may track more easily.
Yes, but depending on the environment and the specifications of the data port it may not perform to the data port's potential. Cat-5 has lower quality standards and may not prevent enough EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) to support the full speed.
A cable crimper is commonly used for bending or crimping thick wires. They may also be used to get a better grasp or to cut the insulation around a wire.
A cable or wifi. If a cable is used, it may be classed as a serial, parallel, or USB connecting cable - depending on the type of printer.
