Matrix LAN Infrastructure Cabling Cat 5e

Enhanced Category 5 is a Specification designed to allow networks to support very high-speed data transmission, like Gigabit Ethernet, at a bandwidth of 100 MHz.

Category 5/Class D Specifications guarantee data networks to perform at 100 MHz and is suitable for 10Mbps and 100Mbps data transmissions. The demand however to increase the amount of data transferred has become significant. Enhanced Category 5 provides Power Sum Characteristics that enable these increased data rates.

Traditionally Crosstalk has only been measured between any combination of two pairs within the cabling. Power Sum is a way of calculating the Crosstalk on an individual pair caused by the three other pairs in the cabling. This is of crucial importance for Gigabit Ethernet, where all four pairs are used simultaneously.
