Category 5 Cable (UTP)
(Unshielded Twisted Pair) |
A multipair (usually 4 pair) high performance
cable that consists of twisted pair conductors, used
mainly for data transmission. Note: The twisting of the
pairs gives the cable a certain amount of immunity from
the infiltration of unwanted interference. category-5
UTP cabling systems are by far, the most common
(compared to SCTP) in the United States. Basic cat 5
cable was designed for characteristics of up to 100 MHz.
Category 5 cable is typically used for Ethernet networks
running at 10 or 100
Mbps. |
|
Category 5 E Cable (enhanced) |
Same as Category 5, except that it is made to
somewhat more stringent standards. The Category 5 E standard is now officially
part of the 568A standard. Category 5 E is recommended
for all new installations, and was designed for
transmission speeds of up to 1 gigabit per second
(Gigabit Ethernet). |
|
Category 6 |
Same as Category 5 E, except that it is made to a
higher standard. The Category 6 standard is now officially part of
the 568A
standard. | |

Multi-mode
optical fiber (multimode fiber or MM fiber or fibre) is a type
of optical fiber mostly used for ommunication over
shorter distances, such as within a building or on a campus.
Multi-mode fibers support applications from 10 Mbit/s to 10
Gbit/s over link lengths of up to 550 meters—more than
sufficient for the majority of premises
applications.
The equipment used
for communications over multi-mode optical fiber is less
expensive than that for
single-mode optical fiber.
Typical transmission speeds/distances limits are 100 Mbit/s up
to 2 km (100BASE-FX), 1 Gbit/s for
distances up to 500–600 meters (1000BASE-SX), and 10 Gbit/s for
distances up to 300 meters (10GBASE-SR).
