RE: CT100 & RG6

["Mark Harrison" <Mark.Harrison@xxxxxxx>]

Nope - I was hoping you did :-)


Starter for 10:

CAT5 - a structured cabling standard with 8 connectors, twister in four
pairs for noise rejection, now superseded by CAT5E. There are three main
subdvisions - STP, which stands for Shield Twisted Pair, which which there
is an outer braid around the central bundle, UTP-solid-core, which is used
an Unshielded version in hard installations, and UTP-stranded, which uses
strands and is used for patch cables. CAT5 can be used to carry computer
data at 10 Mbit/sec (10BaseT), or 100Mbit/sec (100BaseT), analogue phone
signals, ATM, or other kinds of signal such as balanced audio (proprietary
products by kat5.tv or Linn).

CAT5e - new version of the CAT5 standard specifying more twists per meter,
a less tight minimum bend radius, and less distance between wire and
terminators.) Has a higher speed rating than Cat5.

CAT6 - a proposed new version of the CAT5(e) standard. Warning: While some
vendors are using the term CAT6, this is a marketing ploy only, and there
is no guarantee that the cables will be compliant with the final ratified
standard. This should not be a problem for use up to 100Mb/sec, but may be
a problem at 1000Mb/sec (gigabit ethernet) speed.

> Mark - could we have, in the glossary page, a definitions of the
various
cable standards?

Sure.  Presume we need CAT5, CAT5E etc in there too.  Got any
sites with
this info?

Thanks
