Detailed explanation-1: -Through UTP or STP cables, signals can be transmitted over a distance of 100 m (328.08 ft.) only. This behavior occurs because signals attenuate during transmission through the UTP cables. Attenuation refers to the dissipation of the power of a transmitted signal as it travels over a cable.
Detailed explanation-2: -Introduced in 1995, Category 5 cable has a data rate of up to 100 Mbps. It is used for standard 10BaseT and 100BaseT (Fast Ethernet) networks, and can distribute data, video and telephone signals at distances up to 100 meters (328 ft.).
Detailed explanation-3: -Unshielded twisted pair UTP cables are popular all over the world due to their low cost, ease of installation and flexibility. They also support high data transfer speeds of up to 1 gigabit per second (Gbps) for transmission distances of up to 100 meters (m). These cables are also easy to expand and troubleshoot.
