What Are the Essential Components of Cat5 Wiring?

There are a few basic components that make up a Cat5 wiring connection:

  • Twisted Pair Cables or Cat5 have four twisted copper wire pairs, reducing noise interference for a robust connection.
  • RJ45 Connectors, an 8-pin standard used on Cat5 and Ethernet, ensure easy and firm cable insertion.
  • Ethernet Ports provide low power consumption and high reliability with LED indicators, ideal for optimal network performance.
