layer1 - Minimum Ethernet Cable Length? - Network Engineering …
WEBDec 21, 2018 — => There is no minimum cable length for twisted-pair Ethernet. If a device or a cable doesn't work with a very short link it can be considered broken. ("Copper" also includes ancient coax cabling which does have minimum spacing of 2.5 m (10BASE5, Clause 8.6.2.2) or 0.5 m (10BASE2, Clause 10.7.2.1) - but I don't think that was the …
Does having a longer Ethernet cable slow your connection?
WEBAug 17, 2016 — Ethernet cables come in a few different varieties: cat 5, cat 5e and cat 6 are currently in (reasonably) wide use. Cat 5 doesn't officially support gigabit Ethernet, but with a short (e.g., 1 or 2 meter) cat 5 cable that's in good physical condition, you can often get a seemingly reliable gigabit connection anyway 1.

WEBMay 24, 2013 — While most other answers have talked about Length limits, Interference issues and are all correct. One important factor while choosing the cable is the speed of the network and the devices you plan to use. The general specifications for currently available ethernet network speeds are as follows. Twisted Pair Copper Cable Category 5e
Ethernet Cable Orientation - Network Engineering Stack Exchange
WEBMar 21, 2018 — Twisted pair provided a cheaper way to install ethernet on older buildings that had already telephony equipment. Under such circunstance, you might use the two left-over pairs to transmit two telephone lines. They can - if done correctly - provide one more Fast-Ethernet connection (Yes, you can use a single cable to transmit two ethernet runs).

WEBMar 19, 2019 — That would not be called an ethernet cable, it is UTP cable, and it can be used for ethernet, token ring, POTS, serial, etc. Ethernet runs on a variety of media, including coax, twisted-pair, optical fiber, etc. The standard to which you refer doesn't recognize things like ethernet, only the cable specifications, which when met will allow all ...
Why one of the pairs on Ethernet is not adjacent?
WEBDec 6, 2014 — – That doesn't make sense. Two-pair full-duplex ethernet doesn't use the outer pairs. It uses one outer for Tx and one inner for Rx. Also how does the approx. 10mm length of the cable plugged into the connecter make any change. The rest of the cable respects twisted pairs. –
ethernet - RJ45 Cable only has 4 wires - Network Engineering …
WEBDec 19, 2018 — There is a lot of crap cable sold, and many manufacturers have run into legal problems. You seem to have the pin numbers backward (1, 2, 3, and 6 are required for even 10 or 100 Mbps ethernet both straight-through and crossover). Those may be the only pins connected, but the other wires may be in the cable and cut off (not in the connector).
What's the difference between an Ethernet cable and a UTP cable?
WEBSome distinctions and history: Ethernet and other networking systems can use a variety of physical media, including fiber optic and metallic wires. Since the wires are almost always made of copper, people usually speak of fiber vs. copper. The original 3 MBps Ethernet developed by Xerox in the 1970s used 50-Ohm RG-8/U coax cable.
What is the voltage used in ethernet lines (UTP Cables)?
WEBSo potentially you could have an offset of –45 mA and an AC current of ±45ma leading to a total max current of -90 mA. This drives into a 25 ohm load, so that works out to a maximum of around -2.5V, into a properly terminated cable. However the voltages may be higher if multiple stations transmit at the same time.
Is the bandwidth of cable constrained by its length?
WEBThis depends on the technology, but most often: yes. For example, the popular 10base-T ethernet specification assumes a nominal maximum length of 100m. Longer than that your bandwidth will most likely drop (quickly to 0). Even with short enough cables other factors can diminish your throughput however, e.g. bad connectors.
