ISP Information:
This was a very common copper wire standard between 1996-2002 and today. It uses an RJ-45 plug and four-pair wire like Cat 3 and Cat 4, but it is certified to run up to 100MHz and is suitable for 100Mbps wiring standards. Higher speeds are possible, and some installers certify Cat 5 wire at 155Mbps or more.
ISP Glossary:
Cat 5 - AES/newspost wrote: Is there some kind of standard tool kit for signal tracing, with a signal generator I can clamp onto a pair of wires, or preferably onto the bundle of twisted pairs inside a cable jacket full of wires at one end -- hopefully, without having to actually contact the individual wires -- and a detector I can wave near the possible route or the possible other end of the cable, to see if it really _is_ the other end?Yep, anybody with tools should have such a beast.For example:http://www.cyberguys.com/templates/searchdetail.asp?T1=115+3115
