Ethernet Cables Explained
Ethernet Cables Explained
Choosing the right Ethernet cable category for your network
In 1973, Xerox PARC researcher Bob Metcalfe invented a high-speed networking system called Ethernet to allow computer workstations, servers and printers to share data and resources. Today, Ethernet connects hundreds of millions of devices in homes and businesses. In this article, we explain the Ethernet cable types that form the basis of many wired networks.
Buying Ethernet Cable for your Network
If you are buying Ethernet cable for the first time, focus on these four features and you'll make a good decision. Other factors are worth considering in certain circumstances so if in doubt, read on.
Speed (Data Rate): the speed of a cable refers to the amount of data it can transmit per second. 100 Mbps means the cable can transmit 100 million bits of data a second. In a commercial network, speed is usually dictated by the equipment you are connecting (for example, a network switch with Gigabit Ethernet ports). In the home, choose a cable that can support the speed of your Internet connection, plus some room for speed upgrades in the future. A cable's Category designation (e.g. Cat5e, Cat6, etc.) is an easy way to identify the speed of a cable. See Table 1: Category Cable Summary for more information.
Shielding: some Ethernet cables are shielded to protect the cable's conductors from electromagnetic interference (EMI) caused by * power lines, * large machinery and * flourescent lighting. Shielding also prevents: * parallel conductors inside the cable jacket from interacting with one another. SeeEthernet Cable Shieldingfor more information.
Cable Length: The maximum lengthof an Ethernet cable is about295 feet (90 meters). Good quality cables with shielding and thicker conductors can reach further but some trial and error will be required. Keep in mind that cable runs are rarely straight so plan on extra cable for some twists and turns. See Ethernet Cable Length for more information.
Installation Location: cable jackets are rated for fire safety. If you plan on running cable through walls or between floors, choose. rise-rated (CMR) or. plenum-rated (CMP) cable.

Ethernet Cable Categories
The "Cat" in Cat5e, Cat6, etc. is short for "Category." Network cables are divided into categories based mainly on: 1). bandwidth (measured in MHz), 2). maximum data rate (measured in megabits per second) and 3). shielding.
Cat1
For a time, this unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable was the most common form of wiring for voice telephone systems in homes and offices. It consisted of two insulated copper wires twisted around each other and was designed for analog voice communications.
Cat2
Category 2 cabling was capable of voice and data communications and was primarily used during the 1980s for IBM Token Ring networks. It supported a data transmission rate of 4 Mbps.
Cat3
Introduced in the early 1990s, Category 3 cabling had four twisted pairs and was the first to support 10BaseT Ethernet networks as well as digital voice communications. It is still found in older buildings but its 10 Mbps data rate is considered too slow for modern networking.
Bandwidth vs. Data Rate Bandwidth or frequency is a property of a cable and measures the rate at which a signal will cycle each second. 1 MHz is equal to 1 million cycles per second. Cat5 can handle up to 100 million signals a second (or 100 MHz). The cable category with the highest bandwidth is currently Cat8 with 2 billion (2 GHz) signals per second, 20 times as many as Cat5.
Data Rate and Bandwidth are related terms but they are not the same. Higher frequencies carry more 1s and 0s, allowing more bits of data to be transmitted per second. Cat5 cables have a one-to-one relationship between bandwidth and data rate: 100 MHz cable can transmit 100 Mb per second. Higher Category cables such as Cat8 encode the data so more bits can be transmitted in the same amount of time.
Frequency (and therefore data rate) can be increased by increasing the gauge of the conductor wires, adding more twists to the conductors, or adding shielding to each pair of conductors.
Cat4
Like Cat3, Category 4 cable is typically found in older buildings where the cost of complete replacement is prohibitive. It had a data rate of 16 Mbps and was primarily used for IBM Token Ring networks.
Cat5
Introduced in 1995, Category 5 cable has a data rate of up to 100 Mbps. It is used for standard 10BaseT and 100BaseT (Fast Ethernet) networks, and can distribute data, video and telephone signals at distances up to 100 meters (328 ft.). Cat5e is not an official designation but is used by manufacturers to describe an enhanced Cat5 cable that is capable of speeds up to 1 Gbps. Its higher data rate is achieved by increasing the number of twists, making it more resistant to crosstalk. Cat5e is recommended for new sub-Gigabit network installations.
Cat6
In comparison to Cat5e, Cat6 cable provides greater bandwidth and data transfer rates up to 1 Gbps over 100 m, the same as Cat5e. However, at shorter distances of up to 37 m (121 ft.), Cat6 is able to achieve 10 Gbps speeds thanks to its improved shielding and higher bandwidth. Cat6 includes a physical separator called a "spline" between the four pairs to reduce crosstalk and foil shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference. Cat6 cabling is backward compatible with the Cat5/5e standard. Introduced in 2009, Cat6a is an "augmented" Category 6 cable with a bandwidth of up to 500MHz.
Cat7
The Cat7 specification is a proprietary standard developed by a consortium of companies and is not endorsed by IEEE or TIA/EIA. While substantially similar to the performance characteristics of Cat6a, Cat7 cables features proprietary GG45 connectors and robust shielding. Cat7a (Category 7 Augmented) is a further refinement of Cat7, capable of 40 Gigabit speeds over 50 meters and 100 Gbps up to 15 meters. The proprietary nature of the Cat7 and Cat7a standards and lack of support from IEEE and EIA has resulted in a relatively small installed based for Cat7/Cat7a.
Cat8
With a bandwidth of up to 2 GHz (2000 MHz) over 30 meters and a data rate of up to 40Gbs, Cat8 cable is ideal for switch-to-switch communications in a 25GBase T or 40GBase T network. Its conductors are wrapped in foil to virtually eliminate crosstalk and enable higher data rates. The result is a heavier gauge cable that is quite rigid and can be difficult to install in tight spaces. It still uses RJ45 connectors and is backwards compatible with previous standards.

What type of Ethernet cable should I buy for my home network? Even with a speedy WiFi6 router, your connection to the Internet is usually the bandwidth bottleneck. Currently, the * fastest Internet plans available from the major carriers offer
download speeds of1 gigabit per second (1,000 Mbps). If you already have the fastest Internet access available from your provider, use Cat6a cable. This will give you some headroom for future speed increases. For Internet
download speeds up to a gigabit, Cat5e is a good choice. You'll save a little money over Cat6a and the thinner cable will be easier to install.
Knowledge of the Linux command line is critical for anyone who uses this open-source operating system. For many tasks, it's more efficient and flexible than a graphical environment.

Michael finishes up by showing you some test tool considerations and tips, as well as additional help in getting ready for the ISTQB Foundation Exam.Skills covered in this course
We may marvel at a musician or athlete for their high level of skill and execution, but equally as important as their mastery of skills is their incredible technique in applying those skills. Technique is something you develop to ensure that whatever you deliver is the best possible outcome of your work, and in this course, Mike Fine applies this idea to software testing. As Mike shows, the more refined and honed your skills are, the better the results of your testing. Whether you’re a software tester looking to add to your skills, or prepping for an ISTQB certification, mastering many different test techniques only increases the chances that you have the tools to accomplish any task. Mike covers key techniques like black-box testing, white-box testing, and experienced-based testing. As these techniques are often full of esoteric lingo and complicated terminology, Mike also gives some advice on how to communicate your testing process so your results aren’t lost in technical jargon.
Did you know that manual testing is not all that different from creating a piece of art? While new technology has enabled quality assurance teams to automate many processes in product testing, the best and most reliable testing tools are still wielded manually with human skills, attention to nuance, and complex, agile understanding. In this course, instructor Mike Fine gives you the foundational knowledge of manual testing, how it operates, and how to refine your manual testing skills.
Bug writing and management are critical to software development. Quality managers, developers, and everyone else associated with a product's launch are deeply invested in the process. Bad bugs—those with inaccurate or unclear information—lead to a lot of wasted time and effort. However, when bugs are well written and managed properly, the project runs smoother and faster. This course teaches best practices for identifying, writing, and tracking bugs discovered during software testing. Learn how to recognize, classify, and document issues, as well as monitor, maintain, and eventually close reported bugs in a tracking system like Jira. Instructor Mike Fine—a senior test manager with over 25 years of experience—provides a concise and practical guide to bug reporting, so that the information you submit is meaningful and useful to developers.
While spontaneity may be fun and valued in many instances in life, there are certainly areas where you don’t want to leave things up to chance or make an uninformed decision—buying a house, interviewing for a job, running a marathon. These are all things that require preparation, and doing them on the fly could produce disastrous results. As Mike Fine explains in this course, the same can be said for software testing. Join Mike as he teaches the many ways that your preparation for a test ends up impacting your overall results. He reviews the various phases of testing and the different ways to prepare for alpha, beta, and delta testing. Even if you’re an experienced quality tester, Mike shows the importance of reviewing the mundane details that you might do every day and rarely think about, where one small, missed item—an expired software license, for example—might cause your whole test to collapse.
