Explain Some Commonly Used Lan Cables. What Is The Maximum Length Of Lan Cable For Proper Communication?

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.
