Most people have no idea what the term “CAT 5” cable means and really have no need to. However, when you understand that CAT 5 is actually Ethernet cable, there are a few more individuals who comprehend the term. Most businesses require an Ethernet connection, although some homes can also utilize this specialty wiring. For questions about Ethernet or if you need to make an upgrade, you can count on Empire Technologies for expert home and commercial building CAT 5 cabling installation in Fontana and nearby communities.

Ethernet cable was developed in the 1990s to transfer high-speed (10Mbps and 100Mbps) network communication more effectively and efficiently. Electronic configurations like security systems, game machines, smart televisions, and computers may all utilize CAT 5 wiring. Even entirely wireless systems can use miles of CAT 5 cables. Commercial endeavors require ethernet wiring because of the high number of cables that are packed with electrical wires. This can lead to “crosstalk” interference, which can significantly slow speeds. CAT 5 cabling can reduce crosstalk via heavier insulation and the twisting of internal wiring into pairs.

Home contractors will often run a CAT 5 cable from a single central location into all rooms. The homeowner may opt to use it for telephone or data communication and increase speed for all devices, and simple adapters are used to connect to the ethernet.
