What is Cat 5E?
Cat 5E (Category 5 Enhanced) cable is a twisted pair cable type commonly used for Ethernet networks. It supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) under certain conditions (short cable lengths) but is more commonly used for 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps speeds. It is an improved version of Cat 5 cable, designed to reduce crosstalk and interference, thus providing a more reliable data transmission.
