Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Question: Can Category 5 network cables run gigabit?
Answer: Not recommended. Category 5 network cables have a nominal bandwidth of 100MHz and support a maximum transmission speed of 100Mbps. Forcing gigabit operation may result in packet loss and lag. For gigabit requirements, it is recommended to choose Category 5e network cables.
Question: What is the transmission distance of Category 5 network cables?
Answer: The standard transmission distance is 100 meters. Beyond 100 meters, the signal will attenuate. For long-distance wiring, it is recommended to choose 24AWG oxygen-free copper material.
Question: Which one should I choose for outdoor use?
Answer: Choose the FTP single shield + thickened waterproof and sun-proof sheath model. The joint is equipped with a waterproof rubber sleeve, which can resist outdoor sun exposure and rain, and has a longer service life.
