Cat 5 and Cat 5e are discriptions of the wire. Therefore if you wanted to upgrade you would have to change the wiring. In a home use the increase in performance really wouldn't be of any advantage. Personally I don't feel even in a business performance that it is cost effectived to upgrade cost versus the performance gain is not worth it. If you had say cat 3 sure going to cat 5 would be well worth it. Stick with the cat 5 heck most computer equipment don't have the capability to use all the capacity of the cat 5

How to wire a Cat5e jack correctly?

To wire a Cat5e jack correctly, follow these steps: Strip the outer insulation of the Cat5e cable to expose the inner wires. Untwist the pairs of wires and arrange them according to the T568A or T568B wiring standard. Insert the wires into the appropriate slots on the Cat5e jack. Use a punch-down tool to secure the wires in place. Test the connection using a cable tester to ensure proper connectivity.


How do you wire a Cat5e jack?

To wire a Cat5e jack, you need to strip the outer insulation of the Cat5e cable, separate the twisted pairs of wires, and then insert them into the appropriate color-coded slots on the jack. Use a punch-down tool to secure the wires in place. Finally, test the connection to ensure it is working properly.

What is the differences between cat utp 5 en cat utp 5?

Assuming you mean Cat5 and Cat5e, Category 5 and Category 5 Enhanced Unshielded Twisted Pair networking wire, the major difference is tighter control on the twists per inch on the wire pairs, and tighter tolerance on the capacitance per linear foot. Cat5 UTP cable will carry up to 100 megabits per second reliably. In theory, Cat5e UTP cable can carry up to 1000 megabits per second, but in actual usage, most gigabit network hardware will degrade to 300 megabits per second when transmitting over Cat5e cable.
