Wiring
There are four basic types of computer wiring used
in the U.S.
- CAT3 wiring is generally
considered telephone wire. It is twisted like CAT5-6
and can be used in10baseT computer networks (its
certified at 16MHZ.)
- CAT5. Now considered
obsolete. Generally good for up to 100meter runs
of up to 100MHZ.
- CAT5e (enhanced CAT5). This
is the current standard and is considered good
for up to 350MHZ. This is the current standard
and is the type of wiring used in the home
office sample shown above..
- CAT6 or Gigahertz cable.
Despite its name, this wire is NOT certified up
to 1000MHZ at 100 meters. It is generally good
for 400-550MHZ. .
