FAQ

What is the difference between CAT-5, CAT-5e, CAT-6, CAT-6A?

•Cat 5: Out of the different types of cable, Category 5 is the most basic. Cat 5 cable is available in two varieties: Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP), the type widely used in the United States, and Screened Twisted Pair (SCTP), which has shielding to provide a measure of extra protection against interference, but is rarely used outside of Europe. Cables belonging to Category 5 are either solid or stranded: Solid Cat 5 is more rigid, and the better choice if data needs to be transmitted over a long distance, while Stranded Cat 5 is very flexible and most likely to be used as patch cable. Cat 5 cable can support 10 or 100 Mbps Ethernet, and has a capability of up to 100MHz.

•Cat 5e: Cat 5e (which stands for Category 5, enhanced) cable goes along the same lines as basic Cat 5, except that it fulfills higher stand- ards of data transmission. While Cat 5 is common in existing cabling systems, Category 5e has almost entirely replaced it in new installations. Cat 5e can handle data transfer at 1000 Mbps, is suitable for Gigabit Ethernet, and experiences much lower levels of near-end crosstalk (NEXT) than Cat 5. CAT-5e is formally called ANSI/TIA/EIA 568A-5 or simply Cat-5e (the e stands for ‘enhanced’). CAT-5e is completely backward compatible with current CAT-5 equipment. The enhanced electrical performance of CAT-5e ensures that the cable will support applications that require additional bandwidth, such as gigabit Ethernet or analog video. •CAT 5 cable and CAT 5e cable have several differences, the most important are as follows: Network support: CAT 5 cable will support 10/100 Ethernet. That is, Ethernet and Fast Ethernet. CAT 5e cable will support Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet. CAT 5e Cable is completely backwards compatible, and can be used in any application in which you would normally use CAT 5 cable.

Less cross talk : Cross talk is the electrical interference that results when one wire’s signal effects another wire’s signal. CAT 5e cable has been improved over CAT 5 cable in this respect, and cross talk has been greatly reduced.

Bandwidth: This is directly related to network support, in the sense that the bandwidth is the information-carrying capacity of a system. The greater the bandwidth, the greater the information-carrying capacity in a given period of time. CAT 5e cable is rated at 350 megahertz, and it is this increased bandwidth (compared to CAT 5 cable) that allows it to support Gigabit Ethernet. Cable of good quality can run near or at gigabit speeds, it just cannot be “certified” for this use.

•Cat 6: Just like Cat 5 and Cat 5e, Category 6 cable is typically made up of four twisted pairs of copper wire, and has 23 gauge conductor wires as opposed to the slightly smaller 24 gauge for CAT-5e. But its capabilities far exceed those of other cable types because of one particular structural difference: a longitudinal separator. This separator isolates each of the four pairs of twisted wire from the others, which reduces crosstalk, allows for faster data transfer, and gives Category 6 cable twice the bandwidth of Cat 5. Cat 6 cable is also backward-compatible with any previously-existing Cat 5 and Cat 5e cabling found in older installations. Cat6 is designed especially for gigabit use, and is certified to operate at said speed. •CAT6a: CAT6a is an improved version of the CAT6 cabling, has twice the bandwidth and offers better performance. CAT6 cables are rated at 1Gbps while CAT6a cables can achieve up to 10Gbps. It is able to achieve this because it operates at 500Mhz; twice that of the 250Mhz operation of the CAT6 cables. CAT6 cables may be able to achieve 10Gbps but only in when short lengths of cable are used. CAT6a cables are also stricter when it comes to shielding and protection against alien crosstalk. Crosstalk occurs when the signal from one cable leaks into another. This can distort the signal through the introduction of noise and force the network devices to work at a slower speed. Because of this, CAT6a cables would work better in situations where it is to be bundled with a lot of other cables.? RJ45 & USB 33

What is the difference between 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T and 1000BASE-T?

•10BASE-T: This is the IEEE standard that defines the requirement for sending information at 10 Mbps on unshielded twisted-pair cabling, and defines various aspects of running Ethernet on this cabling. •100BASE-T: This is the IEEE standard that defines the requirement for sending information at 100 Mbps on unshielded twisted-pair cabling, and defines various aspects of running baseband Ethernet on this cabling. •1000BASE-T (also called Gigabit Ethernet): This is the IEEE standard that defines the requirement for sending information at 1000 Mbps on unshielded twisted-pair cabling, and defines various aspects of running baseband Ethernet on this cabling •10GBASE-T (also called 10 Gigabit Ethernet): This is the IEEE standard released in 2006 to provide 10 Gbit/s connections over unshielded or shielded twisted pair cables, over distances up to 100 metres (330 ft). 10GBASE-T cable infrastructure can also be used for 1000BASE-T allowing a gradual upgrade from 1000BASE-T using autonegotiation to select which speed to use. 10GBASE-T has latency in the range 2 to 4 microseconds compared to 1 to 12 microseconds on 1000BASE-T.

What are the maximum lengths for cables? •For Solid UTP: Fast Ethernet 100baseT 100 Meters (328 feet) Twisted Pair Ethernet 10baseT 100 Meters (328 feet)

Recommended maximum lengths for Patch Cables made from stranded cable: • Fast Ethernet 100baseT 10 Meters (33 feet) ? Twisted Pair Ethernet 10baseT 10 Meters (33 feet) 34 RJ45 & USB

Safety information

This information is to be used in conjunction with the Product Catalogue and Product Specification. Products may be safely used in the applications for which they have been designed and within the specified ratings and environments. If products are exposed to conditions outside the performance ratings or specified environments they may constitute a hazard. In particular it should be noted that:-

1. Material Content of Products. Circular Connectors generally use metalwork parts made of copper, copper alloy, aluminium alloy, aluminium-bronze, phosphor-bronze or steel, which, dependant on the particular application, may be passivated and protected with cadmium or zinc plate – in conjunction with chromated or anodised surface finishes. The insulating materials can be either natural or synthetic rubber, together with plastic or glass filled plastic moulded parts. Contact materials vary with product type but are usually made of copper, copper alloy, nickel, phosphor-bronze, alumel, chromel or steel.

2. Electric Shock, Burns and Fire. Hazard can occur if the product is used outside the specified parameters or if the product is damaged, wrongly wired or poorly assembled, or poorly integrated into larger equipment, or contaminated with conductive fluids. Live circuit terminations must be protected and live circuits never broken by demating products.

Hotspots may be created when resistance is increased due to damage or incorrect integration particularly soldering, crimping or loose terminations. Overheating can cause breakdown of insulation, electric shot, burns or, ultimately, fire. In the event of fire noxious and/or toxic fumes may be released and, in these circumstances, any fire involving the product should be dealt with by personnel properly equipped.

Connector products with exposed terminators or contacts should not be used on the current supply side of a circuit with exposed contacts on an unmated product. Before making a circuit live, the product and wiring should be checked to ensure that there is no damage and no electrically conducting debris present. Circuit resistance checks should also be conducted before making the circuit live. Always ensure that the correct tools, (specified by AB Connectors Ltd.) are employed for crimping and assembly and that connectors are assembled and wired by properly trained personnel.

3. Disposal of Products. Products should not be burnt.

4. Use Transport and Storage of Products. Care must be exercised to avoid damage to any part of the products during transporting, storage or use. The products, as manufactured, are free of sharp edges. Abnormal transit or storage conditions and abuse during installation can give rise to damage. Products should not be used in a damaged condition. Improper storage (particularly of damaged products) can give rise to additional hazards particularly corrosion. Your attention is specifically drawn to the need of proper storage of products containing cadmium and you are advised to see the Guidance Note from the Health and Safety Executive on Cadmium - Health and Safety Precautions.

Safety Rules 1. Ensure all conductor wires are capable of withstanding the electrical and environmental conditions of the application. 2. Always use the correct assembly tools for cables, contacts and connectors. 3. Make circuit resistance checks before making a circuit live. 4. Always protect live circuits and never demate a live connector. 5. Never use a damaged connector. 6. Never burn discarded connectors or cable. 7. IF IN DOUBT, ASK.

N. B. Additional information on the products and the materials used in them may be obtained from the Sales Department of AB Connectors Ltd.

5. Shelf life for rubber components AB Connectors incorporate a number of rubber components within their connectors. Most rubbers change in physical properties during storage e.g. excessive hardening, softening, cracking or other surface degradation. These changes may be the result of particular factors or a combination of factors such as light, heat, humidity, oils or solvents.

With a few simple precautions the shelf life may be considerably lengthened.

The storage temperature should be between +5 and +25 degrees C. Direct contact with sources of heat such as boilers, radiators and direct sunlight should be avoided. It is advisable to cover any windows of storage rooms with a red or orange coating or screen. The relative humidity in the storeroom should be below 70%. Very moist or very dry conditions should be avoided. Condensation should not occur.

If the above recommendations are adhered to, then AB Connectors would warrant a shelf life of four years for its products.
