Telephone Cable
Find out about telephone cable that complies with CW1308,
CW1308B, and CW1128 standards for internal and external
connections.
Cable Crosstalk
Learn how crosstalk specifications vary between Cat5e, Cat6
and Cat6a cable. Cat6a has improved alien crosstalk capabilities over
Cat6.
Cable Speed
Cable speed is included in the Cat6, Cat6a and Cat5estandards. Cat5e and Cat6 support Gigabit Ethernet. Cat6/6a cable has10-Gigabit Ethernet capabilities.
Crossover Cables/Patch Leads
Crossover patch leads are used for direct network
connections, such as linking computer to computer. T-568A and T-568B wiring
schemes are both used.
Cable Interference
Cable interference creates signal disruptions. Crosstalk and
EMI can generate interference. Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6a standards feature
crosstalk specifications.
Bend Radius
Consider cable bend radius specifications to protect the
integrity of data transmissions. Avoid overbending copper and fibre
cables.
Cable Distance Limits
Cable distance refers to the maximum run length
recommendations for Cat5, 5e, 6 and other network cabling as specified in
TIA/EIA standards.
