What is the difference between cat5 and cat6 cables?
CAT 5 cables are recommended for Ethernet connections up to 100 mbit. CAT6 are approved for 1000 Mbit (gigabit) Ethernet. If you are installing cables for a network these days, choose CAT6 to ensure future compatibility.
Why are HDMI cables better than component cables?
HDMI cables are not better than component cables. They are different and the HDMI interface provides features that are not available on analog component interfaces. HDMI absolutely does not automatically result in better quality images. HDMI carries a component signal for television. It's often the same component signal that analog cables carry other than the fact that it is in a digital form. The information it carries is the same as analog component. In both cases, the image quality is dependent on the signal that is output and not the type of interface. HMDI can also carry a wide range of signal formats and it is now the only domestic connector that is compatible with HD signals. Although there is an HD analog component interface, it is never seen on domestic equipment for one reason. HDMI interfaces allow copy protection systems (HDCP) to be used so that uesrs cannot extract the signal and record it. Analog HD component signals cannot be protected in the same way. The restriction to HDMI is the industry's way of protecting content and reducing piracy. HMDI is also more convenient in that it carries video audio and control data as wel as allowing players and televisions to talk to each other. It reduces set up time and reduces the number of cables behind the equipment. HDMI is limited to short lengths. Although long cables can be purchased, they are expensive ad bulky. Analog component (and other digital component signals) can be run far greater distances without problem. There are now HDMI extenders that use low cost CAT5 cables to run signals up to 100 feet or more and these often work out less expensive than long HDMI cables.
What is the maximum VGA cable length between PC and Plasma?
About 100 feet for minor loss to about 500-700ft for total loss. However VGA signals are extremely volatile to EMI. So shielding, copper quality, and gold plated caps will make a difference.With good quality, low loss 75 Ohm coax cables, the maximum length can be several hundred feet with a minimal loss. The cable will be expensive, bulky and will need correctly terminating at each end to perform properly. Distances in excess of 400 feet have been handled with this technique with no noticeable losses and without additional hardware drivers. Note that this technique uses four or five separate cables and it is no longer a single VGA cable.With an additional line driver, total lengths in excess of 1000 feet are also possible.You may not want to run VGA cable more than 100'. If so use a VGA over Cat6 solution. This will often provide a lower cost solution for long distances but it is important that the CAT6 converter system provides for signal skew adjustment. The adjustment is needed because CAT5 and CAT6 cables are constructed in a way that results in a longer cable length on some signals compared to others. The difference in length is sufficient to be seen as misaligned red, green and blue images on the display. When the adjustment is made, signals are delayed by the correct amount of time to bring the images in line once more. Many of the less expensive VGA over CAT5 systems do not have the adjustment or have a very limited adjustment. Make sure that you are aware of the maximum adjustments available before purchasing.Note that CAT6 transmission is still using the analog signal and therefore, can suffer similar losses to those seen with co-ax cable.
How do you transmit 2 video signals down one cable?
Generally it isn't possible to send two video signals on a single wire although there are instances where it can happen. Video over Ethernet allows multiple signals to be sent in packets although the nature of Ethernet means that the signals will each have a delay so synchronizing the signals may be difficult. Video over CAT5 uses converters that take a video signal and modify it to run over a single pair of a CAT5 cable. Normally, two more pairs would be used for stereo audio. If mono audio is used, it is possible to run two composite video signals with audio down one cable. Note that video over CAT5 uses the same cable as Ethernet but employs a very different signal format to Ethernet. Composite video signals use a single cable but in fact, the signal has three separate video components encoded into the signal. The signals are one for brightness and two for color information. Together they make up a full color signal and can be separated into the three components at the far end. Although the cable carries three signals, remember that they are all parts of the same color signal so this probably doesn't qualify as two signals. Finally, cable broadcasters use encoding systems to allow numerous signals to be carried on a single cable. The one that enters a house to supply a cable receiver carries many signals with just one being decoded and output by the receiver. This takes complex hardware at both ends so is outside the scope of most home users.
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.
Are Cat5 and Cat5e LAN cables interchangeable?
Yes, you can certainly use both cables in the same network.Yes, you can certainly use both cables in the same network.Yes, you can certainly use both cables in the same network.Yes, you can certainly use both cables in the same network.
What is the difference of cat 5 and cat 5e?
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.
