RE: Cat5 or Cat5e for structured cabling (KAT 5 Issues ?)

["Ian Lowe" <ian@xxxxxxx>]

Thats not as I understand it...

I believe CAT-5e has a different rate of twist to CAT-5 (28 twists per foot= ,
as opposed to 22)
hence giving better noise rejection, but certainly haven't heard about
different rates of twist between pairs!!

Hi,

I have been told that the difference between Cat 5 and CAT 5e is that some<= BR> of the cores in CAT 5e have a different rate of twist...

If this is so, and this also goes on from what I have been told, then the delivery of signals down each pair can differ in time causing problems with=
KVM type solutions over CAT 5e cable.

Any comments ?

Nigel

Hello Umar

Look at your local directory for Newey & Eyre the electrical
distributors
they'll do CAT5e for =A324 + VAT for 305m.
At least you'll be able to claim the VAT back as part of your new
build! :-)

at
