Cable

Quality network cables, Ethernet cables and patch leads are essential components of a reliable IT infrastructure.

Learn the difference between T568A and T568B, which define
wiring schemes for terminating Cat cable to eight-pin modular
connectors.

With industry input, the TIA/EIA cable standards have been developed by the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) and Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA). TIA/EIA-568 establishes widely employed telecommunications cable standards that support interoperability. The 568B standard sets minimum requirements for various categories of cabling. For example, Category 5e with performance up to 100 MHz and the capabilities […]

Are you looking to establish a wired network connection? Then you’ll need a patch cord or cable! This essential component connects electronic devices and transmits data from one device to another. What is a Patch Cord/Cable? Understanding the Basics If you’re setting up a wired network connection, you’ll need a patch cord or cable. A […]

Cat5e Cabling Speed The speed of Cat5e cable supports high-performance networking. Cat5 enhanced cables can deliver Gigabit Ethernet speeds of up to 1000Mbps. Devices connected by the cable, including switches and routers, should also support the desired data speeds. Cable technology is backward compatible. Cat5e provides a bandwidth of 100MHz performance, though cables are available with […]

Find out about telephone cable that complies with CW1308,
CW1308B, and CW1128 standards for internal and external
connections.

Learn how crosstalk specifications vary between Cat5e, Cat6
and Cat6a cable. Cat6a has improved alien crosstalk capabilities over
Cat6.

Cable speed is included in the Cat6, Cat6a and Cat5estandards. Cat5e and Cat6 support Gigabit Ethernet. Cat6/6a cable has10-Gigabit Ethernet capabilities.

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.
