CAT5e Cable refers to the Category 5 Enhanced cabling standard for networks and performs up to 100 MHz. These backwards-compatible data cables are used in Gigabit ethernet and other networking applications. Each cable consists of 8 colour coded polyethylene insulated conductors. These are twisted together to form 4 pairs with varying lay lengths. These pairs, together with a strong nylon rip cord are jacketed in the required sheath material. Fire-Resistant version of CAT5e cable is also available.
