What is a network cable?
LAN Cable is used in local networks to send information.
The most common four-pair cables used in data transmission are twisted pair cables.
UTP cables are four pairs of 100 Ohm, both pairs are twisted together.
Network cables are divided into Cat 5, Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat 7 categories based on speed and bandwidth.
Speed and bandwidth of network cables
Cat5=100 Mhz
Cat5e=200 Mhz
Cat6 = 250,350 Mhz
Cat7=600,1000 Mhz
Network cables are supplied as unshielded UTP, aluminum foil FTP, shielded STP and foil and shielded SFTP in colors and with two types of PVC and LSZH coating.
Shielded network cables are usually used in environments where there is a possibility of noise
