III. Type of cable
1) Performance
An Ethernet cable depends on performance, and, category 3 or 4 or 5 or 5 e, 6 or 6 A and 7,
it's classified. Category 5 cables, category 5, 5e and category 6 are generally used in the
LAN.
Table 5-1 The description of the Ethernet cable which is generally used
Type of cable Description
category 5
It's suitable for data communication by the max speed of 100Mbps with a
band margin of 100MHz.
category 5e
It's suitable for data communication by the max speed of 1000Mbps with a
band margin of 100MHz.
category 6
It's suitable for data communication by the speed higher than 1Gbps with a
band margin of 250MHz.
category 6A
It's suitable for data communication by the speed higher than 1Gbps with a
band margin of 500MHz.
2) Pin arrangement
It's possible to classify a cable of a twisted pair into a straight cable and a crossing cable by
a pinout.
A straight cable: The pin arrangement in both ends is based on the 568B standard so
that it may be indicated in Figure 5-2.
