Cat5 Cable Specification
Cat5 is our short reference for EIA standard UTP Category 5 Unshielded Twisted Pair data
cable. This is a standard solid core twisted pair cable having 4 pairs (8-cores) and no
shield. The cores are in pairs
where Blue and ‘Blue with a White stripe’ are twisted
together as the first pair. The other three pairs are similar with main colours Orange,
Green and Brown.
Also available and acceptable are:
UTP Category 5e (Cat5e)
UTP Category 6 (CAT6)
UTP Category 6e (CAT6e)
The exact cable can be chosen from the above on cost and availability grounds.
STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cables are
not
recommended.
UTP “patch cables” are
not
recommended.
NOTE: Cat5 cable is easily identifiable as the specification is printed on the sheath
