How can you tell if a cable is actually a cat 5 cable?
November 13th, 2007 | by admin |Cat5 cable, sometimes called ethernet cable, is a shortened name for category 5 cable. It is the current preferred industry standard for network and telephone wiring. Cat 5 cable is unshielded wire containing four pairs of 24 gauge twisted copper pairs. If a wire is certified as cat5 and not just a twisted pair wire, it will have “cat 5″ printed on the shielding.
