What is a Cat 5e?

CAT-5 is the standard for wired data networks. It is used to support voice and data connections on a local area network (LAN). The pairs of wires in a CAT-5 cable are separated by twisting them, which prevents signals from different pairs from interfering with each other over long distances. CAT-5 cables cost $0.56 to $1.17 per foot installed and can carry 100 Mbps over limited lengths.

The latest variant of CAT-5, called CAT-5e, has small technical improvements that make it more useful for businesses. For example, it is better at preventing signals from interfering with each other over long cable runs, which is known as crosstalk. It also can carry Gigabit Ethernet, which is 10 times faster than a traditional 100 Mbps connection.

If your business is upgrading its infrastructure, you should consider converting to a Gigabit Ethernet network. This is the fastest and most reliable way to connect your offices. Gigabit Ethernet network switches are now available at very reasonable prices.
