What is a crimping tool used for?
Crimping tools are designed to connect a connector to a cable. It is used on phone cables as well as network cables. All you do is place the connector with wires into the tool and squeeze the handle.
How do you network two buildings that are far apart?
Try using repeaters. For instance, use CAT6 cable to connect the buildings and add a repeater every 100m (because that is the maximum length that CAT6 can have without a repeater). Hope that helps
What two types of cables would most commonly be used for new runs?
Fiber or Cat6, depending on the funds available and the size of the network.
What is the cable that connects two hubs?
You Use a standard port on one device, and an unlink port on the other. after that connecte the standard Cat5 cable.
Is it possible to combine two cat6 cables togethor that are 1000 feet to make 2000 feet?
It is possible but you would need to use a cross-over cable joint and not an ordinary connection between them.
What is the difference between Cat 5 and cat 6 cables?
Hello All, There is one major Diffrence between cat6 and cat7 , and this deference is cat 6 has 100 MBPS network speed and cat7 has 1 GBPS network speed. Regards -Amol N Gajare
What is the difference between cat 5 and cat 6 network cable?
Difference between a cat 5 5e and 6 networking cable? Cat5 cable is broken into two separate categories: Cat5 and Cat5E cables. Cat5 has become obsolete in recent years, due to its limitations compared to Cat5E and Cat6 cables. Although the Cat5 cable can handle up to 10/100 Mbps at a 100MHz bandwidth (which was once considered quite efficient), the newer versions of Cat cables are significantly faster. Cat5E cable (which stands for "Cat5 Enhanced") became the standard cable about 15 years ago and offers significantly improved performance over the old Cat5 cable, including up to 10 times faster speeds and a significantly greater ability to traverse distances. Cat6 cables have been around for only a few years less than Cat5E cables. However, they have primarily been used as the backbone to networks, instead of being run to workstations themselves. The reason for this (beyond cost) is the fact that, while Cat6 cables can handle up to 10 Gigabits of data, that bandwidth is limited to 164 feet - anything beyond that will rapidly decay to only 1 Gigabit (the same as Cat5E). Cat6A is the newest iteration and utilizes an exceptionally thick plastic casing that helps further reduce crosstalk. The biggest distinguishing difference between Cat6 and Cat6A cables is that Cat6A can maintain 10 Gigabit speeds for the full 328 feet of Ethernet cable.
What are crimping tools used for?
The process of crimping is used to join two or more pieces of metal together by simply deforming at least one part so all parts hold together. Some examples where crimping is used would be: electrical connectors or fastening covers on metal cans.
What standard supporters a speed a 100 mbps using two sets of cat 3 cable?
100 BaseT2 uses two sets of CAT 3 cable to achieve speeds of 100Mbps.
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 is the best cable to use for DSL?
Cat6 cable is the very best. There is a Cat7 in the works but it is not yet readily available and the connector is different. So if you get Cat6 you have the very best available that will work on most everything. Coax DSL cable is superior but mainly used in industrial applications. A Cat6 shielded cable is also quite effective. In a pinch i have run two Cat6 side by side and punched the blue and orange of the first and the green and brown of the second cable on a single jack. This prevents crosstalk thus data loss. The Cat7 cable is a joke. It does not use an rj45 and is heavily shielded as to almost make it impractical.
What type of cable is being used if a network administrator is connecting two Cisco routers and uses the 100BaseTX standard?
100BaseTX implies Cat5 or better RJ45 cables, and between two routers you need a crossover cable.
