Detailed explanation-1: -A cat 5-or category 5 (5e, or 6)-is an Ethernet cable, or cabling used to support computer networks. It can transmit video and telephony signals in addition to standard computer data. The cat 5 is usually the bare minimum required for Hosted VoIP.
Detailed explanation-2: -Different types of network cables, such as coaxial cable, optical fiber cable, and twisted pair cables, are used depending on the network’s topology, protocol, and size. The devices can be separated by a few meters (e.g. via Ethernet) or nearly unlimited distances (e.g. via the interconnections of the Internet).
Detailed explanation-3: -Category 5 cable is used in structured cabling for computer networks such as Ethernet over twisted pair. The cable standard prescribes performance parameters for frequencies up to 100 MHz and is suitable for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX (Fast Ethernet), 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet), 2.5GBASE-T.
