What are Cat 5 Cables?



Cat5 cables are twisted pair cables used for carrying data, voice, video and audio. They are the most popular of all the twisted pair cables in use today. This is largely because they are a cost-effective option that suits the needs of the vast majority of businesses. At Midland Networks, we can provide the highest quality Cat5 cables with an outstanding installation service.
Cat5 cables contain four pairs of copper wire and they support fast Ethernet speeds of up to 100 Mbps. We also offer the newer specification of Cat5 cable, Cat5e. These support networking at Gigabit Ethernet speeds of up to 1000Mbps over short distances, by utilising all four of the wire pairs. Cat5e cables are backwards compatible with the standard Cat5 cables, making them an ideal option if you’re looking to upgrade.
A high quality cabling network is essential in order to run your business efficiently. Cat5 cables provide a great foundation for your business communications. They deliver greater bandwidth as they have the capacity to carry more data than many alternatives. Because Cat5 cables are manufactured using lightweight materials, you will experience minimal signal loss and benefit from greater data transfer speeds across longer distances. Additionally, your data will be more secure as Cat5 cables do not radiate signals. Cat5 cables provide greater reliability because they are immune to impedance problems, crosstalk, radio frequency and electromagnetic interference. They are also less vulnerable to temperature fluctuations than many alternatives.
Cat5 cables are lightweight and small in size, which makes them relatively fast and simple to install. This means that you can have a reliable network up and running in a short space of time.
