Types of Ethernet Cables – Know the Difference Not all network cables are the same — here are 3 core types every beginner should know: Straight-Through Connects different devices (e.g. PC to switch/router) Crossover Cable Connects similar devices (e.g. switch to switch, PC to PC) Console Cable Used to configure routers/switches via serial port Disclaimer […]
Fast Ethernet vs Gigabit Ethernet – What’s the Difference? Understanding the difference between 100BASE-T (Fast Ethernet) and 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet) is crucial for any network engineer, IT technician, or CCNA student. This visual comparison breaks it all down — from network type, data rate, and cable requirements to cost, use cases, and common devices. Whether […]
Fast Ethernet vs. Gigabit Ethernet: What’s the Difference? Choosing the right Ethernet cable can make or break your network speed. Here’s a quick visual comparison between CAT5 (Fast Ethernet) and CAT5e/CAT6 (Gigabit Ethernet). Key takeaway: • Fast Ethernet (CAT5): 100 Mbps, limited performance, uses 2 wire pairs. • Gigabit Ethernet (CAT5e/CAT6): 1000 Mbps, faster, more […]
What is Ethernet/IP? Ethernet is a foundational technology for wired networking, enabling devices to communicate over a local area network (LAN). Developed in the 1970s by Robert Metcalfe and standardized in the 1980s, it has become the most widely used method for connecting computers, servers, switches, and other devices in homes, offices, and data centers. […]
Ethernet is a type of local area network (LAN) technology used for connecting devices to a network. It was invented in the 1970s by Robert Metcalfe and David Boggs. Here are some key aspects of Ethernet: 1. Physical connection: Ethernet uses twisted-pair or fiber optic cables to connect devices. 2. Protocol: Ethernet uses the IEEE […]
Understanding Cat 8.1, and Cat 8.2: The Future of High-Speed Networking #Cat8.1 #Standard: Defined by #ANSI/TIA-568-C.2-1 #Performance: Supports frequencies up to 2000 MHz #Shielding: Typically uses shielded twisted pair (STP) cabling #Connector: #RJ45 connectors are used, maintaining compatibility with Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat 6a, and Cat 7 #UseCase: Designed for data centers and high-speed […]
Different Types of Ethernet Cables and Their uses #Cat5 Speed: Up to 100 Mbps. Frequency: Up to 100 MHz. Max Distance: 100 meters. Use Case: Older networks, basic home networking, telephone lines. #Cat5e (Enhanced Cat5) Speed: Up to 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet). Frequency: Up to 100 MHz. Max Distance: 100 meters. Use Case: Standard home […]
What is single pair Ethernet? Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) describes the transmission of Ethernet via only one pair of copper wires In addition to data transmission via Ethernet, SPE also enables simultaneous power supply to end devices via PoDL – Power over Data Line. Traditionally two pairs of copper wires were necessary for Fast Ethernet […]
Different types of Ethernet LAN cables Ethernet cables are categorized into “CAT-N”(where “CAT” stands for category) based on bandwidth (measured in MHz), maximum data rate (measured in megabits per second) and shielding. Here are different type of Ethernet cables. Disclaimer – This post has only been shared for an educational and knowledge-sharing purpose related to […]
⭕ ETHERNET EXTENDER Ethernet cables range is limited, typically reaching around 100 M This can pose a challenge for situations where you need to connect devices beyond this distance or lack the ability to run new cables. Here’s where Ethernet extenders come in ✅ What is an Ethernet Extender? An Ethernet extender is a device […]
