Dude he is asking CAT5 & u r talking bout CAT5e wiring. CAT5e is used for gigabit connectivity. Tho the cable is same but the standard wiring is different than the CAT5 one.......
Dude no one uses cat5 cables anymore. All those international bodies which make networking standards dropped support for cat5 cables longback even if you go to lamington road and ask for for cat5, ethernet, lan cable, you will get cat5e cables.
The reason he is askin for cat5 cables is bcoz the name is famous.
If you see the specification of cat5e the max distance is 100m but as i said it also works even if you cross the 100m limit.
zhopudey for gigabit lan you can use cat5e cables (they are cheaper compared to cat6) but if the cable is going to run through areas where there is heavy electric interference go for cat6.
andrew327 ill tell you a secret, there are 8 wires inside cat5e cable but you just need 4 wires working properly for your network.
The 121m cable we have has 2 wires broken in the middle but still we can use it without any problems.
