Answer» There are mainly two types: Cat 5 (Category 5 where 5 indicates twists per inch) & Cat 5e (5e indicates 5 twists per inch per pair which leads to REDUCED cross TALK). Both Cat 5 & 5e are UTP cables that can support up to 100 Mbps. Cat 6 & 6e are UTP cables that can support up to 1 Gbps. After about 80 METERS (260 feet), you will usually see a REDUCTION in speed.
