Different logo
The category 5 is identified as cat5e, and the six category is identified as cat6.
Transmission speed is different
Category 6 network cables are mainly used in gigabit networks.
The maximum transmission speed can reach 10000Mbps. The performance is much better than the super five
Network Cable.
The transmission speed of the super five network cable can reach up to 1000Mb/s.
However, it is usually used in a 100Mb/s network
The transmission frequency of the super five network cable is 100MHz, and the transmission frequency of the six network cable is 250MHz. A higher frequency means a higher transmission rate.
Within 50 meters.
The performance of Category 6 network cables in terms of crosstalk and return loss is far better than Category 5 network cables, and the network performance is more stable.
Category 6 network cables use a thicker copper core, which is much thicker than Category 5 network cables.
There is a cross frame in the middle of the six types of network cables to isolate the four pairs of twisted pairs, which improves crosstalk and return loss, while effectively reducing the interference of external electromagnetic radiation.
The winding distance of Category 6 cables is much tighter than that of Category 5 cables: Category 5 cables have the CAT5E logo on the outer skin, and Category 6 cables have
CAT6 logo.
Category 5e unshielded twisted pair is a cable that appears after improving some of the performance of the existing Category 5 shielded twisted pair. Many performance parameters, such as
Near-end crosstalk, attenuation crosstalk ratio, return loss, etc. have all been improved, but its transmission bandwidth is still 100MHz.
The super five twisted pair cable also uses 4 winding pairs and 1 tensile wire. The color of the wire pair is exactly the same as that of the five twisted pair cable.
Green, green, white blue, blue, white brown and brown. Bare copper wire diameter is 0.51mm (wire gauge is 24AWG), insulated wire diameter is 0.92mm, UTP cable diameter is
5mm. Although Category 5e unshielded twisted pair can also provide up to 1000Mb/s transmission bandwidth,
However, it is often necessary to resort to the support of expensive special equipment. Therefore, it is usually only applied to 100Mb/s fast Ethernet to realize desktop
Switch to computer connection. If you are not going to upgrade the network to Gigabit Ethernet in the future, you may wish to use Category 5e in horizontal cabling
Unshielded twisted pair cable.
"Category 6" refers to category 6 unshielded twisted pair
The parameters of the six types of unshielded twisted pairs have been greatly improved, and the bandwidth has also been extended to 250MHz or higher. Category 6 twisted pair in appearance and structure
There is a certain difference between the above and Category 5 or Super Category 5 twisted-pair cables. It not only adds an insulated cross frame, but also places the four pairs of twisted-pair wires in ten.
In the four grooves of the character frame, and the diameter of the cable is also thicker.
The cross frame in the center of the cable rotates with the change in length, and the four pairs of twisted pairs are clamped in the groove of the frame to keep the four pairs of twisted pairs in phase.
For the location, improve the balance characteristics and crosstalk attenuation of the cable. In addition, ensure that the balance structure of the cable is not damaged during the installation process. Six categories
The unshielded twisted pair bare copper wire diameter is 0.57mm (wire gauge is 23AWG), the insulated wire diameter is 1.02mm, and the UTP cable diameter is 6.53mm.
