The specification for Category 5e cable was defined to wired to gold plated RJ45 plugs in accordance with the TIA/EIA 568B standard, with clarification in TSB-95.These documents specified performance characteristics and test requirements for frequencies of up to 100 MHz.

Category 5e cable includes four twisted pairs in a single cable jacket.Cable types, connector types and cabling topologies are defined by TIA/EIA-568-B. This use of balanced lines helps preserve a high signal-to-noise ratio despite interference from both external sources and other pairs.

Cat5e designed maximum transmission distance is 100 meters (328 feet). it is most commonly used for 100 Mbit/s networks:

  100BASE-TX Ethernet 

  100Base-T  Ethernet  

  1000Base-T Ethernet 

Although IEEE 802.3ab defines standards for 1000BASE-T – Gigabit Ethernet over category 5 cable. Cat5e cable typically has three twists per inch of each twisted pair of 24 gauge (AWG) copper wires within the cables.

Solid core cable is supposed to be used for long permanently installed runs. It is less flexible than stranded and more prone to failure if repeatedly flexed. Stranded cable is used for fly leads at patch panel and for connections from wall-ports to end devices, as it resists cracking of the conductors. Stranded core is generally more expensive than solid core.

Connectors need to be designed differently for solid core than for stranded. Use of a connector with the wrong cable type is likely to lead to unreliable cabling. Plugs designed for solid and stranded core are readily available, and some vendors even offer plugs designed for use with both types. The punch-down blocks on patch-panel and wall port jacks are designed for use with solid core cable.

The maximum specified distance for Cat5 cable is 100m. This allows for 10m of stranded cable at either end. Solid core has less attenuation than stranded cable, so a switch-to-switch link of solid cable, where the only connections are cable-plug-switch at either end can be significantly longer than 100m in practice. Experiments show that the practical limit is around 200m for 100 Mb/s. 1000Mb/s is intermittent at 200 m. These distances are partially dependent on the individual switches.8P8C modular connectors are used for connecting category 5e cable.Most Cat.5 cables can be bent at a radius approximately 4 times the diameter of the cable
