  • How to Choose the Right Cable Category
    How to Choose the Right Cable Category Why do I need a different category of cable? Not too long ago, when local area networks were being designed, each work area outlet typically consisted of one Category 3 circuit for voice and one Category 5e circuit for data. Category 3 cables consisted of four loosely twisted pairs of copper conductor under an overall jacket and were tested to 16 megahertz. Category 5e cables, on the other hand, had its four pairs more tightly twisted than the Category 3 and were tested up to 100 megahertz. The design allowed for voice on one circuit and data on the other. As network equipment data rates increased and more network devices were finding their way onto the network, this design quickly became obsolete. Companies wisely began installing all Category 5e circuits with often three or more circuits per work area outlet. Often, all circuits, including voice, were fed off of patch panels. This design allowed information technology managers to use any circuit as either a voice or a data circuit. Overbuilding the system upfront, though it added costs to the original project, ultimately saved money since future cable additions or cable upgrades would cost significantly more after construction than during the original construction phase. By installing all Category 5e cables, they knew their infrastructure would accommodate all their network needs for a number of years and that they would be ready for the next generation of network technology coming down the road. Though a Category 5e cable infrastructure will safely accommodate the widely used 10 and 100 megabit-per-second (Mbits/sec) Ethernet protocols, 10Base-T and 100Base-T respectively, it may not satisfy the needs of the higher performing Ethernet protocol, gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbits/sec), also referred to as 1000Base-T.

  • KNOW the LINGO – WHAT IS Category CABLE?
    KNOW THE LINGO – WHAT IS CategoRY CABLE? By: Joseph D. Cornwall, CTS-D Technology Evangelist—Lastar, Inc. Technical lingo is a kind of shorthand that’s used to express concepts common to that specific topic or area of study. Technical lingo is important because it provides a very precise or unique “shorthand” description of a device, effect or concept. Unfortunately, if you aren’t comfortable and familiar with the lingo of a topic it can be a tall hurdle to communicate efficiently with folks who consider the jargon of their field to be “self-explanatory.” In this series of articles we’ll lift the veils of misunderstanding from the lingo of the A/V industry. WHAT IS A CAT CABLE? The concept of Category cables was first set forth by the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) and is now maintained by the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA). In 1991 the TIA/EIA-568-A standard was released (now revised to TIA/EIA-568-C) in an effort to define standards for telecommunications installations. In particular, the standard worked to define elements of balanced twisted pair cabling, fiber optic cabling and coaxial cabling, along with the associated connectors. The Cat cables discussed here are of the unshielded twisted pair (UTP) variety. You can’t be in the A/V or IT industry and not have heard of Cat5e and Cat6 cables. The Cat, as you might know, is short for “Category.” The term “Category” refers to the different levels of performance in signal bandwidth, attenuation and crosstalk associated with each cable’s design.

    University of Technology Biomedical Engineering Department First year 2nd lecture Of Principles of computer engineering and Programming methodology Asst. Lect. Amar A. Mahawish Data Communication & Computer Network Data communications refers to the transmission of data between two or more computers. A computer network is a telecommunications network that allows computers to exchange data. The physical connection between networked computing devices is established using either cable media or wireless media. The best-known computer network is the Internet. 1. Computer Network Types Generally, networks are distinguished based on their geographical span. A network can be as small as distance between your mobile phone and its Bluetooth headphone and as large as the internet itself, covering the whole geographical world. 1) Personal Area Network A Personal Area Network (PAN) is smallest network which is very personal to a user. PAN has connectivity range up to 10 meters. PAN may include wireless computer keyboard and mouse, Bluetooth enabled headphones and wireless printers. 2) Local Area Network Local Access Network (LAN) is a short-distance network. It connects computers that are close together, usually within a room or a building. Very rarely, a LAN network will span a couple of buildings. An example of a LAN network is the network in a school or an office building. A LAN network doesn’t need a router to operate. 3) Wide Area Network Wide Area Network (WAN) cover a huge geographical area. A WAN is a collection of LAN networks. LANs connect to other LANs with the help of a router to create WAN. 2. Computer Network Topologies A Network Topology is the arrangement with which computer systems or network devices are connected to each other.

  • Ethernet Twisted Pair Cable Categories
    Cabling Ethernet Twisted Pair Cable Categories. LPTPCATX_AN_ENB01W This Application Note explains the differences between twisted pair categories used for Structured Cabling. A Category 5 cable. Category 5 (CAT 5) cable is a multi-pair (usually 4 pair) high performance cable that consists of twisted pair conductors, used mainly for data transmission. Basic CAT 5 cable was designed for characteristics of up to 100 MHz. CAT 5 cable is typically used for LAN Ethernet networks running at 10 or 100 Mbps. Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) construction makes the cable highly cost-effective for data networks. B Category 5e Cable. Category 5e (CAT 5e) cable, also known as Enhanced Category 5, is designed to support full-duplex Fast Ethernet operation and Gigabit Ethernet. The main differences between CAT 5 and CAT 5e can be found in the specifications. The performance requirements have been raised slightly in the new standard. CAT 5e has stricter specifications for Power Sum Equal-Level Far-End Crosstalk (PS-ELFEXT), Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT), attenuation, and Return Loss (RL) than those for CAT 5. Like CAT 5, CAT 5e is a 100 MHz standard, but it has the capacity to handle bandwidth superior to that of CAT 5. C Category 6 Cable Category 6 (CAT 6) cable provides higher performance than CAT 5e and features more stringent specifications for crosstalk and system noise. The quality of the data transmission depends upon the performance of the components of the channel. To transmit according to CAT 6 specifications, jacks, patch cables, patch panels, cross-connects, and cabling must all meet CAT 6 standards.

By building and maintaining your network the “right way” you ensure the long term reliability of this fundamental but critical part of your IP based audio distribution system. This document will explain the process of selecting the components and building the cabling infrastructure that will be the backbone of your high speed audio data network. Network Speed Any discussion of building a wiring plant for an audio over IP system should start with a clear understanding of what will be connected to the system now and in the foreseeable future. The WheatNet IP Blade hardware was designed to utilize the 1000 Base T Gigabit Ethernet standard exclusively as the transport mechanism for all audio i/o and mix engine traffic. Certain mixing and routing control devices as well as general purpose PC’s on the network continue to use Fast Ethernet 100BASE–TX connectivity. With this in mind, the wiring plant we will discuss must support gigabit connectivity from end to end. Ethernet Wiring Standards While it is true that you could install a basic Ethernet network without knowing anything about standards – short of the RJ45 wiring scheme – installers of Ethernet networks for professional use in commercial spaces which are subject to official inspector review will find the standards information invaluable.
