FAST, RELIABLE CONNECTIONS WITH CAT5E TECHNOLOGY Made with Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) stranded copper wires, this Cat 5 cable meets the CAT5e (Category 5 Enhanced) Ethernet network cable standard to support Ethernet speeds of up to 1000 Mbps. The wire pairs in CAT5e cables are twisted more tightly than those in CAT5 cables to reduce signal interference. LESS CROSSTALK WITH TWISTED PAIR WIRES The CAT5e Ethernet Cable features 4 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) 24 AWG (American Wire Gauge) stranded copper wires to reduce electromagnetic interference. Stranded cables are more pliable than solid cables, making them better suited for travel. Plus, the wires are housed in a durable PVC outer jacket for abrasion and corrosion resistance.
