What type of cable would you use between a router and a switch?
A regular Cat 5e or Cat 6 RJ-45 straight-through Ethernet network cable.
How can you tell the cat level of a cable?
You can tell the CAT level (or category) of a cable by looking for imprinted markings along the length of the cable. Look for the number preceded by 'CAT.' That is the category of the cable.
What is the maximum signal distance on a cat 5 cable?
The maximum length of a cat 5 e cable with out a repeater is 100meters
What type of cable used to connect the Ethernet interface on a switch to the Ethernet interface on a router?
To the switch the router is just another host, so it connects with a straight Cat 5 or Cat 6 cable.
What is the length of category 5 cable for home network?
For any Cat 5 cable, the maximum segment length is 100 meters per segment.
What type of cable do you use to connect computer to switch?
Typically you would use a CAT-5e or CAT-6 UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) network cable.
Is the Cable Cat 6 available in 20 meters?
The Cable Cat 6 is an Ethernet cable that supports fast Ethernet 10G BASE-T. This cable is available in a 20 meter length online from various retailers including cabling4less.
What is the difference between Cat 2 verses cat 3 cable?
Cat 2 cable was rated at 4 or 16 mbps whereas cat 3 cable would be rated at 10 mbps. Since 10baseT networks with Ethernet ran at 10 mbps this meant that cat 2 cable would not be useable in those networks. The minimum category cable for those networks had to be at least a cat 3 cable.
2 What is the maximum distance of Cat 5e cabling for data transmission?
That depends on what you will be using the cable for. In general, the higher the frequency of the signal being sent down the cable, the shorter the cable has to be. The environment of the cable is also important. If the cable is in an electrically noisy environment, it needs to be shorter. There are various standards that specify the maximum length of a cable. Sometimes it will work (some of the time) if you use a longer piece of cable, but following the standard is much more likely to work correctly all the time. Some examples from computer networking standars: For 10BASE-T Ethernet, the maximum length of a cable is 100 meters. Note that this standard was defined for Cat 3 cable, so you'll probably be able to use Cat 5e cable to send the signal further. However, there's no standard specifying how much further - you'll probably have to test it yourself. For 100BASE-T Ethernet, the maximum length is also 100 meters, but the cable grade is specified as Cat 5 (not Cat 5e). So you might be able to make a longer run work with Cat 5e. For 1000BASE-T Ethernet, again the maximum length is 100 meters, but now the cable must be Cat 5e. Also, all four pairs of the cable are used, whereas in the other two standards only two pairs are used. HTH, Gdunge
What cable is used to connect wireless router to a switch?
It should be at least UTP CAT-5, if your equipment supports gigabit connection use CAT-5e.
What is the maximum length for a network category 5 or 6 cable?
standard cat 5 e and cat 6 the normal cable you will find in use with you router is 100m other types of network cable vary look them up on google
What is the maximum length of cat6 cable can support for a lan?
The maximum allowed length of a Cat-6 cable is 100 meters (330 ft) when used for 10/100/1000baseT. This consists of 90 meters (300 ft) of solid "horizontal" cabling between the patch panel and the wall jack, plus 10 meters (33 ft) of stranded patch cable between each jack and the attached device. Since stranded cable has higher attenuation than solid cable, exceeding 10 meters of patch cabling will reduce the permissible length of horizontal cable. When used for 10GbaseT, Cat-6 cable's maximum length is 55 meters (180 ft) in a favorable alien crosstalk environment, but only 37 meters (120 ft) in a hostile alien crosstalk environment such as when many cables are bundled together. 10GbaseT runs of up to 100 meters (330 ft) are permissible using Cat-6a.
