Cat 5, short for Category 5, is the current preferred industry standard for network and telephone wiring. Cat 5 is an unshielded twisted pair type cable exclusively designed for high signal integrity. The cable consists of four pairs of 24-guage twisted copper pairs terminating in an RJ-45 jack. If a wire is certified as Category 5 and not just twisted pair wire, then it will have "Cat 5" printed on the shielding.

The actual Cat 5 standard describes specific electrical properties of the wire, but Cat 5 is most widely known as being rated for its Ethernet capability of 100 Mbit/s. Category 5 cable comes with three twists per inch of each twisted pair of 24 gauge copper wires within the cable. The twisting of the cable helps to decrease electrical interference and crosstalk. Each wire in a Cat 5 cable is insulated with a plastic (FEP) which has low dispersion. The importance of this insulation is that the dielectric constant of the plastic does not depend mainly on frequency.

Vibe Telecom Solutions do not 'pull cables' or 'throw in cables' we lay the cables - in looms or trays or trunking. We take care about the bend radius and the cable tension. We make sure that the termination twists are maintained and that cable separation from other services, in particular power, is within the regulations.

The impact of a poorly installed LAN is often not felt until it has been installed for sometime, as more and more devices are added requiring the transmission of greater volumes of data and higher speeds, it is only then that the effect of over stretched cables and too tight a bend radius will be felt
