Indoor And Outdoor Telephone Communication Cables Ethernet Cables
An Ethernet cable is what you connect between your computer, TV, game console, or other device and your router, modem, or network switch. It enables your device to access the local network or the internet. Although Wi-Fi has become a very common way to connect to the Internet, Ethernet cables can provide faster and more stable Internet connections than wireless today.
Ethernet cables typically use RJ-45 connectors on both ends and can be up to 300 feet long. Also, there are no upstream or downstream ports in an Ethernet cable, so you can plug either end into your router or computer.
As mentioned earlier, Ethernet cables are mainly used to access local networks or the Internet. But you can also use them to establish a direct connection between two devices.
Can Category 5 and Category 6 network cables be used in common?
In the 100M network, only 4 wire cores are used in the process of transmitting network signals by Category 5 Cat5 network cables, while in Gigabit networks, 8 cores are used in the transmission of network signals by Category 6 network cables. The four cores of the Cat5 network cable cannot achieve the simultaneous transmission and reception of Gigabit network transmission, that is, the four cores can only realize the reception or transmission of data on the Gigabit network. The two cannot be performed at the same time, but the specifications of the network ports are the same. , so Cat5 five-category 100M network cable and Cat6 six-category Gigabit network cable cannot be completely used.
Cat5 network cables are no longer being used gradually. Today, 100M network cables mainly refer to Cat5e super five network cables. Cat5e super five network cables are 8-core twisted pair cables like Cat6 six network cables. Therefore, Cat6 six categories can be used. The network cable can be used for 100M transmission, and the Cat5e super five network cable can also be used for Gigabit transmission under certain conditions, and they can be used in common.
But it is worth noting that the crystal head of the Gigabit network cable and the crystal head of the 100M network cable are not universal. Their copper cores have different sizes, so the sizes of the internal holes are also different.
