TROUBLESHOOTING Frequently Asked Questions What kind of CAT-5e cable should I be using? Solid core CAT-5e cable rated at 350 Mhz 568a or 568b is the minimum requirement. CAT-6 cables are also a viable cable to use. Higher resolutions and transmission lengths greater then 80 feet might require low skew cables for optimum performance.
TERMINOLOGY CAT-5 Category 5 cable, commonly known as Cat 5, is an unshielded twisted pair type cable designed for high signal integrity. The actual standard defines specific electrical properties of the wire, but it is most commonly known as being rated for its Ethernet capability of 100 Mbit/s. Its specific standard designation is EIA/TIA-568. Cat 5 cable typically has three twists per inch of each twisted pair of 24 gauge copper wires within the cable.
