How to make a Cat5E cable.

Fast Ethernet and Gigabit computer networks require Enhanced Category 5 high-speed cabling to distribute data, voice and video. Enhanced Cat5 350Mhz Snag less Patch Cables are always extremely High quality. These CAT5e cables will handle bandwidth intensive applications up to 350 Mhz and beyond. Each CAT5e cable comes UL verified to meet all Cat 5e cables TIA/EIA standards, and drastically reduce both impedance and structural return loss (SRL) as compared to standard 100 Mhz CAT5 cable. Constructed with high-quality wire and a shortened body plug will keep Near-end Cross talk (NEXT) levels to a minimum. The molded, snag-free boot prevents unwanted cable snags during installation and provides extra strain-relief. Cables4sure 350 MHz Snag less CAT5e patch cables are available in a variety of colors to easily color-code your network installation.

CAT5e cable definition:
Ethernet cable standard is defined by the Electronic Industries Association and Telecommunications Industry Association (commonly known as EIA/TIA). CAT5 is the 5th generation of twisted pair Ethernet cabling and the most popular of all twisted pair cables in use today The Category 5e standard is now officially part of the 568A standard. Cat5e is recommended for all new installations, and was designed for transmission speeds of up to 1 gigabit per second (Gigabit Ethernet). Maximum length for CAT5e cable: 100m
