> CAT5 - a structured cabling standard with 8 connectors, twister in
four
pairs for noise rejection, now superseded by CAT5E. There are three
main
subdvisions - STP, which stands for Shield Twisted Pair, which which
there
is an outer braid around the central bundle, UTP-solid-core, which is
used
an Unshielded version in hard installations, and UTP-stranded, which
uses
strands and is used for patch cables. CAT5 can be used to carry
computer
data at 10 Mbit/sec (10BaseT), or 100Mbit/sec (100BaseT), analogue
phone
signals, ATM, or other kinds of signal such as balanced audio
(proprietary
products by kat5.tv or Linn).

meter,
a less tight minimum bend radius, and less distance between wire and
terminators.) Has a higher speed rating than Cat5.
>
> CAT6 - a proposed new version of the CAT5(e) standard. Warning: While
some
vendors are using the term CAT6, this is a marketing ploy only, and there
is
no guarantee that the cables will be compliant with the final ratified
standard. This should not be a problem for use up to 100Mb/sec, but may be
a
problem at 1000Mb/sec (gigabit ethernet) speed.
