What is Category 5?

Category 5 (sometimes referred to as Cat-5) describes a commonly used type of high performance network cabling. It is used mainly for data transmission purposes to connect computers, modems and other devices. A standard Category 5 patch cable consists of four twisted pairs of copper wire terminated by RJ45 male connectors. The cable assembly is used to provide connectivity between any two Category 5 female outlet jacks. A variation, called Category 5e, uses additional twists in the cable to reduce interference in high-speed network applications.

The RJ45 connector looks similar to the connectors found on a telephone system, only larger. The twisting of the wire pairs helps to shield the cable from unwanted interference from electrical fields or radio interference (sometimes referred to as “RF”). Cat-5 cabling supports frequencies up to 100 MHz and speeds up to 1000 Mbps.

Cables Used in the Aviom System

The Category 5 cables used with your Aviom system are interchangeable with any standard Category 5 (or Cat 5e) cables. If you need a longer cable for a particular application, any computer store should be able to supply you with an appropriate cable. A qualified technician should be able to build custom cables to any length up to the maximum of 500 feet (150 meters) between A-Net components.

For fixed or permanent installations, you have the option of running Category 5 cables inside walls and terminating them with readily available wall panels that include the RJ45 jack.
