unshielded twisted pair Cat5e Wire

The unshielded twisted pair Cat5e wire is a wire that appears after improving some of the performance of the existing shielded twisted pair Cat5 wire. Many performance parameters, such as near-end crosstalk, attenuation crosstalk ratio, and return loss, are available. Increased, but its transmission bandwidth is still 100MHz.

The twisted pair Cat5e wire uses four winding pairs and one tensile cable. The color of the pair is exactly the same as the twisted pair Cat5 wire, which are white orange, orange, white green, green, white blue, blue and white. Brown and brown. The bare copper wire diameter is 0.51mm (wire gauge is 24AWG), the insulated wire diameter is 0.92mm, and the UTP cable diameter is 5mm.

Although unshielded twisted pair Category 5 wire can provide transmission bandwidths of up to 1000 Mb/s, they often require the support of expensive special equipment. Therefore, it is usually only applied to 100Mb/s Fast Ethernet to realize the connection of the desktop switch to the computer. If you are not ready to upgrade your network to Gigabit Ethernet in the future, you may wish to use Super Category 5 unshielded twisted pair in horizontal cabling.Gray Stranded Cat5e Ethernet Cable.jpg

unshielded twisted pair Cat6 wire

The parameters of unshielded twisted pair Cat6 wire have been greatly improved, and the bandwidth has also been extended to 250 MHz or higher. The unshielded twisted pair Cat6 wire is different in appearance and structure from the Cat5 or Cat5e types of twisted pairs. They not only increase the insulated cross skeleton, but also place the four pairs of twisted pairs on the cross skeleton. Within the grooves, and the diameter of the cable is also thicker.

The cross skeleton at the center of the cable rotates with the change of the length, and the four pairs of twisted pairs are stuck in the grooves of the skeleton to maintain the relative positions of the four pairs of twisted pairs, thereby improving the balance characteristics of the cable and the crosstalk attenuation. In addition, it is guaranteed that the balanced structure of the cable is not damaged during the installation process. The unshielded twisted pair Cat6 bare copper wire diameter is 0.57mm (wire gauge is 23AWG), the insulated wire diameter is 1.02mm, and the UTP cable diameter is 6.53mm.Cat6 Gray Ethernet Cable, Solid, UTP.jpg
