The "Cable Category" is universally accepted as the speed
capability of the cable. Cat 3 was the original twisted pair cable
that connected 10MB networks together. Then came Cat 5 (used in
networks up to 100 MB). Followed by Cat 5E (generally considered
adequate for up to 1000MB networks). As you become familiar with
Cable Category, you will notice that few cables get rated higher than
their factory labeling. This is because cables are manufactured and
tested to minimum specifi cations. If the cable exceeds minimum
specifi cations it passes the manufacturer's inspection.
