Tan 24 4 solid cu cat3 cmr riser data cable model 56918743 12 97 12 97.

Cat 3 cable gauge.

Both cable standards are unshielded and both have an outer sheath stamped as certified cat 3 or cat 5. White 24 3 unshielded twist pair cable model cat3241000w 86 68 86 68. Cat 5 is also used to carry other signals such as telephony and video. Cat3 can be relied on to handle data speeds of up to 10 mbps but no more.

It is part of a family of standards defined jointly by the electronic industries alliance eia and the telecommunications industry association tia and published in tia eia 568 b. Level 3 twisted pair data cables utp are suitable for various applications including high speed data lan transmission. The category 3 or cat3 standard was used heavily in the early 90 s for wiring offices and homes. Digiwave category 3 1000 ft.

Cable s gauge indicates the thickness of the conductor in which the electrons flow. It s still used in two line phone configurations but has largely fallen out of favor for wired networking thanks to the category 5e cable s superior performance. Category 5 cable cat 5 is a twisted pair cable for computer networks since 2001 the variant commonly in use is the category 5e specification cat 5e the cable standard provides performance of up to 100 mhz and is suitable for most varieties of ethernet over twisted pair up to 1000base t gigabit ethernet. Notice the lower the gauge the higher the thickness.

Cat 6 cable cat 5e 4 conductors data cables white data cables buried phone line internet phone cable. Category 3 cable commonly known as cat 3 or station wire and less commonly known as vg or voice grade as for example in 100basevg is an unshielded twisted pair utp cable used in telephone wiring. Digiwave category 3 1000 ft. The wider the cable the easier it is for the electrons to pass through it.

Both cat 3 and cat 5 cables are comprised of four twisted pair for a total of eight 24 gauge copper wires. White 24 3 unshielded twist pair cable model cat3241000w 86 68 86 68. Set your store to see local availability add to cart. Set your store to see local availability add to cart.
