Detailed explanation-1: -Category 5 (CAT5) cable is a multi-pair (usually 4 pair) high performance cable that consists of twisted pair conductors, used mainly for data transmission. Basic CAT5 cable was designed for characteristics of up to 100 MHz. CAT5 cable is typically used for Ethernet networks running at 10 or 100 Mbps.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Cat5 cable provides a bandwidth of up to 100MHz, and its speed can range from 10Mbps to a maximum of 100 Mbps. Cat 5 is suitable to carry Ethernet signals, but also telephony and video. The cable comes as UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable, but can also be found as SCTP (Screened Twisted Pair).
Detailed explanation-3: -CAT5: Used in Ethernet-based LANs, CAT5 contains two twisted pairs. It supports 100 Mbps for up to 100 meters. CAT5e: Used in Ethernet-based LANs, CAT5e contains four twisted pairs. It supports 1 Gbps for 100 meters.
Detailed explanation-4: -The receiver uses the difference of signals between these two conductors. The noise or crosstalk in the two parallel conductors is high but this is greatly reduced in twisted pair cables due to the twisting characteristic.
