  2. Category 6 cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_6_cable

    A Cat 6 patch cable, terminated with 8P8C modular connectors. Category 6 cable (Cat 6) is a standardized twisted pair cable for Ethernet and other network physical layers that is backward compatible with the Category 5/5e and Category 3 cable standards. Cat 6 must meet more stringent specifications for crosstalk and system noise than Cat 5 and ...

  3. Modular connector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_connector

    An 8P8C modular plug. This is the common crimp-type plug, of the same kind pictured above crimped onto a cable (with molded sleeve). A modular connector is a type of electrical connector for cords and cables of electronic devices and appliances, such as in computer networking, telecommunication equipment, and audio headsets.

  4. Twisted pair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twisted_pair

    The bundles are in turn twisted together to make up the cable. Unshielded twisted pair cable with different twist rates. UTP is also the most common cable used in computer networking. Modern Ethernet, the most common data networking standard, can use UTP cables, with increasing data rates requiring higher specification variants of the UTP cable.

  5. Sticky-shed syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sticky-shed_syndrome

    Ampex-branded u-matic cassette tapes are also now exhibiting sticky-shed problems, similar to their reel tape media. [citation needed] As of the 2020s, digitizing companies have documented examples of sticky-shed from Maxell. TDK has been showing signs as of late of shedding its lubricant in the form of a white powder or white/yellowish goo.

  6. Ethernet over twisted pair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_over_twisted_pair

    Cable testers are widely available to check these parameters to determine if a cable can be used with 10BASE-T. These characteristics are expected to be met by 100 meters of 24-gauge unshielded twisted-pair cable. However, with high-quality cabling, reliable cable runs of 150 meters or longer are often achievable and are considered viable by ...

  7. Structured cabling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structured_cabling

    Regardless of copper cable type (Cat 5e/6/6A), the maximum distance is 90 m for the permanent link installation, plus an allowance for a combined 10 m of patch cords at the ends. Cat 5e and Cat 6 can both effectively run power over Ethernet (PoE) applications up to 90 m. However, due to greater power dissipation in Cat 5e cable, performance and ...

  8. Shielded cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shielded_cable

    Four-conductor shielded cable with metal foil shield and drain wire. Coaxial cable. Electronic symbol for a shielded wire. A shielded cable or screened cable is an electrical cable that has a common conductive layer around its conductors for electromagnetic shielding. [1] This shield is usually covered by an outermost layer of the cable.

  9. Copper cable certification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_cable_certification

    The significance of each category or class is the limit values of which the Pass/Fail and frequency ranges are measured: Cat 3 and Class C (no longer used) test and define communication with 16 MHz bandwidth, Cat 5e and Class D with 100 MHz bandwidth, Cat 6 and Class E up to 250 MHz, Cat6A and Class EA up to 500 MHz, Cat7 and Class F up to 600 ...
