wait. dude, what?

How's a warehouse filled with every type of electrical, data, and voice wire going to be out of plenum cat5e?

Seriously. what?

as if i knew what the heck that is lol

four pair twisted wire used to connect your laptop to your network.

i hate when i cant find that... and believe you me.. i look for it really often!

 

[sundvlfn88]

That bites!!

 

[TheOriginalJames]

Yeah it does. I can't do any work at my insurance agents new office. By work, I mean pull out the Cat5e that's already in there to replace it with this plenum.

Is there a difference between regular Cat 5 and Cat 5e?

 

[Veronica]

I have no idea what that is either.

I have no idea what that is either.

it's the type of cable that connects your computer to your router or one computer to another. the end of it looks like a wide phone plug

 

[GuesSAngel]

I wish I could understand the language that's being spoken here

 

[Suzie]

<~ Me too

 

[dt3]

It's network cable...like you use for your internet...

Cat 5e non plenum;

Ya'll see it when you plug it into your routers at home from the back of your desktop/laptops.


RJ45 plug with wire and color codes:

This is what I do everyday...

Is there a difference between regular Cat 5 and Cat 5e?

Both CAT5 and CAT5e have 100 ohm impedance and electrical characteristics supporting transmissions up to 100 MHz. The differences between CAT5 and CAT5e show in all aspects of performance: capacitance, frequency, resistance, attenuation, and NEXT. CAT5e components were designed with high-speed gigabit Ethernet in mind. While CAT5 components may function to some degree in a gigabit Ethernet, they perform below standard during high-data transfer scenarios. CAT5e cables work with ATM and gigabit speed products. Simply, if you are using a 100Mbps switch, get CAT5e cable instead of CAT5.

You have NO idea how many "engineers" want Cat6 because they want to run gigabit, not realizing that cat5e will support it well.

So they pay the extra 40 bucks per wire run for it. It runs in the same amount of time as c5e, just costs more.

I dont...cuz I dont do the plugging in. :dunno

I've only ever dealt with regular Cat 5. Marine Corps is cheap
