Electronic Wire and Cable
Electronic wire and cable is used in a variety of different ways. One of the most common types of electronic cable is CAT-5 cable. This type of cable is used for carrying signals between computers and servers. Most CAT-5 cable is referred to as Ethernet cable. It connects to a computer’s network cable and allows that computer to access the local intranet or the internet. CAT-5 cable can be suitable for a number of different speeds, including up to a gigabit.
CAT-5 cable has been superseded by CAT-6 cable. This type of cable is standard for gigabit Ethernet and can handle the faster data transfers that these faster networks require. It is also compatible with all CAT-5 and CAT-3 cable needs, making it much more flexible. It allows for less system noise and crosstalk. The only downside is that it has a slightly smaller maximum length.
