![]() ![]() The mainstream adoption of Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) required new industry-standard cables capable of transmitting at a higher frequency of 250 MHz. An optimized encoding scheme allows up to 50-meter lengths of CAT5E cable to perform at, or near, Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) speeds. The new standard also required all cables to include four twisted pairs (all eight contacts). By reducing noise and signal interference, CAT5E was capable of increasing rated transfer speeds to 350 Mbit/s over 100 meters. Older Category 5 cables continue to make up the bulk of the world’s network infrastructure.Īn improved specification to Category 5 was later introduced. ![]() Most Category 5 cables, designed for early networks, only used two twisted pairs. Category 5 transmits at 100MHz frequencies, providing a rated line speed of up to 100Mbit/s and a max cable segment length of 100 meters. ![]()
