Structured Cabling

Cat5e (Category 5e) is a type of Ethernet cable that supports data speeds up to 1 Gbps over distances of up to 100 meters. It is commonly used for networking and provides improved resistance to interference compared to the original Cat5 cable. 

Cat6 (Category 6) is an Ethernet cable that supports data speeds up to 10 Gbps over distances of up to 55 meters. It offers better performance and reduced crosstalk compared to Cat5e, making it ideal for high-speed networks and demanding applications.

Cat6e (Category 6e) is an enhanced version of Cat6 cable, designed to provide even better performance with improved shielding to reduce interference and crosstalk. It supports data speeds up to 10 Gbps over distances of up to 100 meters, making it ideal for high-speed, high-bandwidth applications in business and data center environments. Cat6e offers more reliability and better signal quality than standard Cat6 cables.

Fiber optic cable uses light to transmit data at very high speeds over long distances. It consists of thin strands of glass or plastic fibers that carry signals as pulses of light, offering faster speeds and greater bandwidth than traditional copper cables. Fiber optic cables are immune to electromagnetic interference and are commonly used for high-speed internet, telecommunications, and networking in large-scale systems. 

Coaxial cables are used to transmit data, video, and audio signals. They consist of a central conductor, insulating layer, shielding, and an outer cover, providing protection against electromagnetic interference. Commonly used for cable TV, internet connections, and security systems, coaxial cables offer reliable signal transmission over moderate distances.

Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) is a type of Ethernet cable that pairs twisted wires with additional shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI). This makes STP cables more suitable for environments with heavy electrical noise, offering more reliable data transmission compared to Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cables. STP is commonly used in industrial settings or areas with high interference.

Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) is a type of Ethernet cable that consists of pairs of twisted copper wires without any additional shielding. It is commonly used for networking and telephone systems due to its cost-effectiveness and ease of installation. UTP cables are ideal for environments with minimal electromagnetic interference.
