Ethernet Cables
Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet Cables The different Ethernet cable types are: 10BaseT - UTP cable with RJ-45 connectors; uses Category 3, 4, or 5 cable UTP (unshielded twisted pair) and coax are both copper cables. The UTP cable for 10BaseT must be Category 3, 4, or 5 cable. The different Fast Ethernet cable types are: 100BaseTX - Category 5 UTP cable with RJ-45 connectors Fast Ethernet is also known as 100BaseT. Note that 100BaseT does not refer to any particular cable type. This is confusing because, with regular Ethernet, 10BaseT refers to UTP cabling! With Fast Ethernet, UTP cabling is either 100BaseTX or 100BaseT4. Cisco offers no 100BaseT4 solutions. The different Gigabit Ethernet cable types are: 1000BaseSX - 62.5mm or 50mm
