Cat5e cables are a type of Ethernet cable, running from the internet source, like a router, to the intended target. It had a twister pair build and will excel in both home and workplace environments. The use of copper within the patch cord itself guarantees the excellent network connection needed for a reliable and smooth internet activity.

The choice of which category cable to use is ultimately down to the user. Cat5e will run applications up to 100 MHz, which would be perfect for most workplaces and server rooms which require a constant internet connection for day to day activities.

These particular ethernet cables are both UTP or STP rated. Two very different shield types on a cable which performs the same operation. As an example, the differences between the two would be:

• STP - Shielded Twisted Pair, providing excellent resistance against interference.
• UTP - Unshielded Twisted Pair, easier installation and cost effective.
