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. Patch cable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patch_cable

   A patch cable, patch cord or patch lead is an electrical or fiber-optic cable used to connect ("patch in") one electronic or optical device to another for signal routing. Devices of different types (e.g., a switch connected to a computer, or a switch to a router ) are connected with patch cords.

4. Ethernet crossover cable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_crossover_cable

   A crossover cable may also be used to connect two hubs or two switches on their upstream ports. Because the only difference between the T568A and T568B pin and pair assignments are that pairs 2 and 3 are swapped, a crossover cable may be envisioned as a cable with one modular connector following T568A and the other T568B (see TIA/EIA-568 wiring ...

5. Twisted pair - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twisted_pair

   U/FTP, F/UTP and F/FTP are used in Cat 6A cables. Shielded Cat 5e, Cat 6/6A, and Cat 8/8.1 cables typically have F/UTP construction, while shielded Cat 7/7 A and Cat 8.2 cables use S/FTP construction. [9] Because the shielding is conductive, it may also serve as a path to ground.

6. ANSI/TIA-568 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI/TIA-568

   Under TIA/EIA-568-B, maximum allowable horizontal cable distance is 90 meters of installed twisted-pair cabling, with 100 meters of maximum total length including patch cords. No patch cord should be longer than 5 meters. Optional consolidation points are allowable in horizontal cables, often appropriate for open-plan office layouts where ...

7. Ethernet over twisted pair - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_over_twisted_pair

   Most Ethernet cables are wired straight-through (pin 1 to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2, and so on). In some instances, the crossover form (receive to transmit and transmit to receive) may still be required. Cables for Ethernet may be wired to either the T568A or T568B termination standards at both ends of the cable. Since these standards differ only ...
