what does cat5e mean?

Cat 5 means ethernet flat cable to hook up to internet and 25 feet is a long cable.

Cat5e is the color designation of the wires that are inside the Ethernet cable. It's the enhance version of cat5 but lower than cat 6. Cat 5e is god enough for your internet needs. Cat 6 is more for companies to wire their networks. Hope it helps.

You can use either grade of cable. I have CAT5e connecting my modem to my router and used CAT6 cables when connecting from the router to the Linksys 5-port unit. The modem-router connections are much older than the 5-port, which was done this spring.

I think for computer to computer connections you need a cat5e "crossover" cable. This one is called a "patch" and is used for modem to computer connections. The wiring is different, so make sure you search for "crossover" cable. There is also a USB Easy Transfer Cable that can be used. These, though, are more expensive than the crossover cables.

Hello Admin,I don't think freezing temps alone would stop CAT5e from working. Operation temps for Cat5e are roughly -67 degrees to 140 degrees.Please let me know if you have any further questions!Thank you,Taylor W.VIVO

Yes this will work for cat5e or any other ethernet cable. You will need platinum's crimping tool made for the EZ connectors that trim the edges.

I use these for a cat 5e and cat5 project. I added a boot onto the connector and they work flawlessly making a good solid connection each time. I had no complaints from the customer. I will certainly buy them again when I run out my current set. by the way some of the devices were Poe.

Sorry, I can't answer that. But I think they have products that only need a cat5 connection, no computer needed !

Cat 5e can be extended up to 300 feet. I have 2 cameras on this system connected on two 250ft cat5e runs and both cameras work great.

You can, but you won't have a Gigabit-rated cable if you do. (Disclaimer: though Cat5e is not Gigabit-rated, it's still more than capable of providing Gigabit speeds.) So, it's up to you.

I believe the only difference between CAT5 and CAT6 is the cable. The connector does plug on both sides so you don't have to wire it.

Hi Donald, Cat 5e cable should be capable of supporting 1000BASE-T (Gigabit) connections. Unless you've got incredibly easy runs to replace and money to burn, you'd probably be better off keeping the existing cable.

It includes one cat5e network cable. Unfortunately the product didn't work for me. However it's a great price if it works

The question is will it crimp rj45 connectors which are used for pretty much every network cable out there, and the only connector you need to worry about. Cat 6 refers only to the actual cable, not the connector. The only difference between cat 5, cat 5e, and cat 6 cable is as you go to 5e and 6, there is more material inside the cable to shield the data wires from outside interference and crosstalk between the wires.

Cat5 - can handle 10/100 Mbps speeds (Fast Ethernet) at up to 100 MHz bandwidth.Cat5e (enhanced) - can handle 1000 Mbps speeds (gigabit Ethernet) at 100 MHz.Cat6 - can handle 10 gigabit Ethernet at 250 MHz.Yes it can work. But the speed will be limited to up to 1Gbps or 1000Mbps only. If your Cat6 line go over 1Gbps, using Cat5e will not be able to maximize your connection speed.

We have been using both Cat5e and Cat6 on these switches with great success. Performance seems to exceed expectations. Highly recommend.

You should be able to plug it into any CAT5 plug. It shouldn't matter since it is on your LAN.

Cat6 is better shielded and is twisted more tightly than Cat5e. Cat5e is all-copper with better shielding than Cat5. PoE is supported on Cat5, so it would also be supported on these Cat6 cables. They simply have better shielding, all-copper wires, and a greater twist rate than Cat5--all of which should make them better, not worse, for a PoE application.
