De-Mystifying Category 5, 5e, 6, and 7 Performance Specifications

Overview Even though the IEEE 802.3ab Gigabit Ethernet specification has released and applications groups are turning their attention towards next generation solutions, there is still a great degree of uncertainty as to the capability of today's telecommunication cabling systems to support tomorrow's high bit-rate applications. Fortunately, the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) have made great strides in the specification and clarification of the minimum cabling performance criteria necessary to support these next generation applications.
