What is Ethernet
Cable?
Ethernet cables - are used to
provide an internet connection,
and connect devices to a local
network. They plug into Ethernet
ports on a variety of devices. The
most common use for an
Ethernet cable is connecting a
WiFi router or modem to the
internet entry port or telephone
line.
Different Examples of
Ethernet
• CAT 1 Cables
• Cat 7
• CAT 2 • Cat 8
• CAT 3 • Fiber optic
• CAT 4 • Coaxial
• CAT 5 • RJ45
• CAT 6 • Crossover cable
Category 1 cable, also
known as Cat 1, Level 1,
or voice-grade copper,
is a grade of unshielded
twisted pair cabling
designed for telephone
communications, and at
one time was the most
common on-premises
wiring. The maximum
frequency suitable for
Category 2 cable, also
known as Cat 2, is a
grade of unshielded

designed for telephone
and data
communications. The
maximum frequency
suitable for
transmission over Cat 2
cable is 4 MHz, and the
maximum bandwidth is
Category 3 cable,
commonly known as
Cat 3 or station wire,
and less commonly
known as VG or
voice-grade, is an
unshielded twisted
pair cable used in
telephone wiring..
Category 4 cable is a
cable that consists of four
unshielded twisted pair
copper wires supporting
signals up to 20 MHz. It is
used in telephone
networks which can
transmit voice and data up
to 16 Mbit/s.a
Category 5 cable,
commonly referred to as
Cat 5, is a twisted pair
cable for computer
networks. Since 2001,
the variant commonly in
use is the Category Se
specification.
Category 6 cable,
commonly referred to as
Cat 6, is a standard
twisted pair cable for
Ethernet and other
network physical layers
that is backward
compatible with the
Category 5/5e and
Category 3 cable
standards.
Category 7 cable (CAT7) is a
shielded twisted pair cable that
is used in high-speed Ethernet-
based computer networks of 1
Gbps or higher between
directly connected servers,
switches, and computer
networks. The ISO/IEC
11801:2002 Class F
specification defines and
specifies it. Cat7 cable

Category 8, or just Cat8, is
the latest IEEE standard in
copper Ethernet cable. It
represents a significant
leap in data transfer speed
over the earlier Cat7 and
Cat6a cables. It uses
standard RJ45 connectors
and is backward
compatible with previous
standards
Fiber optic cables are
commonly used
because of their
advantages over
copper cables. Some
of those benefits
include higher
bandwidth and
transmit speeds. Fiber

distance and high-
A coaxial cable is a

of 2 to 1800 unshielded twisted pairs surrounded by
an outer jacket. They have no metallic shield. This
makes the cable small in diameter but unprotected
against electrical interference. The twist helps to
improve its immunity to electrical noise and EMI.

Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cables are widely


used in the computer and telecommunications
industry as Ethernet cables and telephone wires. In
an UTP cable, conductors which form a single circuit
are twisted around each other in order to cancel out
electromagnetic interference (EMI) from external

Parts of UTP
Cable
Each wire in the UTP cable model
has four parts. The conductor
and the insulator are parts of the
wire itself. The third part is the
twisted unit. This twisted unit will
have two wires, each one will
have a conductor and an
insulator.
What is straight through?

Straight-through cable is a type of


twisted pair copper wire cable for local
area network (LAN) use for which the RJ-
45 connectors at each end have the
same pinout (i.e., arrangement of
conductors.
What is crossover cable?
An Ethernet crossover cable is a crossover cable for Ethernet
used to connect computing devices together directly. It is
most often used to connect two devices of the same type two
computers or two switches to each other. By contrast, patch
cables or straight through cables are used to connect devices
of different types, such as a computer to a network switches
or Ethernet hub.
Intentionally crossed wiring in the crossover cable connects
the transmit signals at one end to the receive signals at the
other end.
Many devices today support auto MDI-X capability, where in a
patch cable can be used in place of a crossover cable, or vice

What is RJ45
and its Role
in UTP Cable
The eight-pin RJ45 connector is a standardised
interface which often connects a computer to
a Local Area Network (LAN). This type of
connector was originally developed for
telephone communications but is now used in
a range of applications. The abbreviation,
RJ45, stands for Registered Jack-45.
Registered Jack specifications are related to
the wiring patterns of the jacks, rather than
their physical characteristics. The term RJ45
has also come to refer to a range of
connectors for Ethernet jacks. An 8 Position/8
