…standard provides performance of up to 100 MHz and is suitable for most varieties of Ethernet over twisted pair up to 10GBASE-T but more commonly runs at 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet) speeds. Cat 5 is also used to carry other signals such as telephone and video. This cable is commonly connected using punch-down…
