What else can I help you with?
Are special tools required when working with cat 5e cabling to create patch or crossover cables?
Yeah
What is the highest transmission speed attainable using the best twisted-pair cable?
The maximum is 1 Gbps (CAT-5e, CAT-6), the maximum distance without attenuation is 100 m.
What subsection of the ANSI TIA-568-C standard would you reference for UTP cabling performance parameters?
ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 This standard specifies characteristics for cabling such as Cat-5e, Cat-6, and Cat-6A
What are your horizontal cabling options?
Category 5e or Category 6
Is Cat 5E ethernet cable effective for gigabit speed ethernet applications?
Yes, CAT 5E is well-suited for gigabit ethernet. CAT 6 will also work just fine.
What is the most common form of twisted pair cabling used in LANs?
Either Cat 5 or 5e is most common at this point, although Cat 6 is becoming more prevalent.
What is the maximum segment length that is specified by the 1000BASE-T standard?
The maximum segment length specified by the 1000BASE-T standard is 100 meters (328 feet) when using Category 5e (Cat 5e) or higher unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cabling. This length includes the total length of the cable run from the switch or router to the endpoint device, accounting for any patch cables used in the installation.
While Ethernet cables have enhanced in speed between Cat-5 Cat-5E and Cat-6 why haven't Coax enhanced at a similar rate?
skittles
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.
Characteristic impedance of cat 5e utp cables?
Characteristic impedance of cat 5e utp cables is 100 ohms.
What are the drawbacks of having a Local Area Network 'LAN' at home?
The primary dis-advantage is the physical installation of CAT [5e/6] cabling and faceplates. CAT cables are installed in parallel in a star network unlike normal telephony where cables are in series thus less obtrusive.
What tools are required to work with Cat 5e cabling to create patch or crossover cables?
There is a cat-5 crimping tool needed to attach plugs to the ends of the cables. It is also advised to test your cables with a cable tester, but this can also be done by simply plugging it into a computer & switch.
