Cat 5 is required for basic 10 100 functionality you will want cat 5e for gigabit 1000baset operation and cat 6 or higher gives you a measure of future proofing. For more information see. Cat 5e kabel sind abwärtskompatibel zu herkömmlichen cat 5 kabeln. The termination of cat5e ethernet cable should use rj45 connectors. The four colors are in order blue orange green and brown. Trim all the aligned wires to the same length of about 1 2 to 3 4 should be left exposed form the sheath. The following picture shows the structure of the cat5e cable. The cable standard provides performance of up to 100 mhz and is suitable for most varieties of ethernet over twisted pair up to 1000base t gigabit ethernet. Make sure to test the cables before installing them.
As there are 8 wires in every utp cables you have to follow color coding standard on where to place each wires at rj 45 connector. There are two color code standards tia eia 568a 568b for making a working network cable. Cat 5 is required for basic 10 100 functionality you will want cat 5e for gigabit 1000baset operation and cat 6 or higher gives you a measure of future proofing. For more information see. How to make a cat 5 or cat 6 patch cable. You can also use stp shielded twisted pair for extra resistance to external interference but i won t cover shielded connectors. An inexpensive ethernet cable tester does this quite well. Cat 5 network cable wiring configuration diagram straight thru. Since 2001 the variant commonly in use is the category 5e specification cat 5e. To make a crossover patch cable you should wire one end 568b and the other end 568a.
Bulk ethernet cable comes in many types there are 2 basic categories solid and braided stranded cable.

For a cross over cable the other end will have a different color order as shown by the crossover picture above. As there are 8 wires in every utp cables you have to follow color coding standard on where to place each wires at rj 45 connector. Note the maximum cable length of cat 5 cat 5e or cat 6. Adjust the colored wires according to the above diagrams. For a standard straight through cable repeat all steps and wire color order on the other end of cable. Trim all the aligned wires to the same length of about 1 2 to 3 4 should be left exposed form the sheath. The four colors are in order blue orange green and brown.
Make sure to test the cables before installing them. The following picture shows the structure of the cat5e cable. Regular phone cable consists of two untwisted pairs each with wires of a different solid color the first pair is green red the second is black yellow. You can also use stp shielded twisted pair for extra resistance to external interference but i won t cover shielded connectors. Cat 5e kabel sind abwärtskompatibel zu herkömmlichen cat 5 kabeln. You want utp unshielded twisted pair ethernet cable of at least category 5 cat 5. Category 5 cable cat 5 is a twisted pair cable for computer networks.
