Categories of UTP Cable
UTP data cables have been categorized according to their performance ratings with Category 5e (Cat5e), Category 6 (Cat6), and Category 6a (Cat6a) being the most prevalently used, and these include also modern networking fields. Every one of the categories carries maximum distance capacities by means of diameter of wire gauges, twists per inch and quality designs.
What is the Maximum Distance of UTP Cable?
The maximum distance for Unshielded Twisted Pair cable is 100 meters (328 feet) for most common Ethernet applications such as 10/100/1000BASE-T.
