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.
Does CAT5 cables support 1Gbps?
No
Cables used in a star bus topology?
Star topology is like the network is done by easily adding another network and the most common cable is used unshielded twisted pair cable. For the star topology purpose, Cat5 and Cat6 cable is used because it is an unshielded and shielded twisted pair cable.
What cable types resembles a lamp cord?
Category 5 cable - often just called Cat5 - is a twisted-pair cable that is commonly used for carrying telephone, video and Ethernet signals inside buildings. Because it uses a twisted pair method of construction, some people may say it resembles an old-fashioned lamp cord. Cat5 cables and connectors are much cheaper to buy and to instal than the coaxial shielded cables (coax) and connectors which must still be used for communications network links in electrically-noisy areas such as large buildings and industrial sites. Cat5 is made of very flexible wire of small cross-section so it is much easier to route around furniture than the larger, less flexible, coax shielded cables. Unlike coax, Cat5 cables are unshielded yet reject interference well enough because of: (i) the use of random twist-distances in the twisted pair design and (ii) appropriate signalling methods. Cat5 was superseded by the Cat5e specification.
Where are shielded cat5 cables sold?
Shielded cat5 cables are sold in multiple locations. Online, they can be purchased at sites such as Amazon. They can also be purchased at stores such as Radio Shack and Best Buy.
Can you extend USB over CAT5?
Yes, USB cables can be extended using CAT5 networking cables. You don't need to cut the wires and combine them yourself though, as there are many cables and hardware solutions available for purchase now.
Which type twisted pair cable will you use to connect router to router?
UTP (unshielded twisted pair) Cat5 or Cat6.
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.
A 5th generation Twisted Pair Ethernet cable is known by what name?
CAT5
Can twisted pair cable used for LAN connections?
twisted pair cable can used as LAN connections....for example CAT5 and CAT6 both twisted pairs.
What are the types of LAN cables and connectors?
UTP unshielded twisted pairSTP shielded twisted pairCoaxial cable a.k.a. CoaxFiber optic cableTwisted pair cables are usually categorized by transmission ability: CAT3 is for phone use, CAT5 is basic computer network, CAT5e and CAT6 are the latest I'm aware of.
Do CAT6 cables provide better signal strength than CAT5?
CAT6 cables do provide better signal strength and bandwith than CAT5, but for most purposes CAT5e will work just as well and be cheaper.
