CAT6 Cables
Category 6 (CAT 6) technology is rapidly growing in the telecommunications industry’s commercial market. CAT 6 has been under development since late 1997.
Originally, the wiring was intended to go from the 100 MHz capability of CAT 5 to 200 MHz, but later that was revised to 250 MHz. CAT 6 provides for other metrics as well, variables that become important at high bandwidth rates. These include crosstalk, or interference between wire pairs, and skew, the difference in timing of signals on the wires. CAT 6 is the latest type of four pair twisted copper cable designed for high speed data transmission.
CAT 5 was initially touted as the last cable you’ll ever need, but then came Gigabit Ethernet, which pushed the technology to its limits and used all four pairs of wires in the cable. So, manufacturers started making, “enhanced”, versions of the cable (hence the “E”). Bandwidth precedes data rates just as highways come before traffic. Doubling the bandwidth is like adding twice the number of lanes on a highway. The trends of the past and the predictions for the future indicate that data rates have been doubling every 18 months. Current applications running at 1 Gb/s are really pushing the limits of Category 5E cabling.
As streaming media applications such as video and multi-media become increasingly commonplace, the demands for faster data rates will increase and spawn new applications that will benefit from the higher bandwidth offered by Category 6. This is exactly what happened in the early ’90s when the higher bandwidth of Category 5 cabling compared to Category 3 caused most local area network (LAN) applications to choose the better media to allow simpler, cost effective, higher speed LAN applications, such as 100BASE-TX.
It is also important to note that cabling infrastructure is generally considered a 10 year investment as opposed to one or three years for electronics or software.

So, when someone refers to 568A, are they talking about the standard, or the wiring scheme? The answer, is that it depends on the context. If they were to say “The entire office fully complies with 568A”, obviously, they would be talking about the standard. If they were to say “The jacks and patch panels are all 568A”, then they would be referring to the wiring scheme.
The 568 committee, with good intentions, decided to allow both wiring methods (568A & 568B) to exist within the 568A Standard. The reason was that at the time, a great deal of cabling plants had been installed to the B standard (formerly known as WECO or AT&T 258A). Even though they allowed both wiring methods, they stated in their standard that 568A wiring would be the preferred method for all new installations. Time, and popular opinion, went in the other direction. The most popular wiring method today is 568B. Having both A & B methods does nothing but cause errors and confusion. Originally, patch panels and jacks were manufactured either A or B. In most cases, they were not labeled as such. Most suppliers stocked only the B wired products. Luckily, today, almost all jacks and patch panels show diagrams for both A and B. The only difference between the two is the interchanging of the 2nd and 3rd pairs (white/orange and white/green, respectively).
So which method to choose? As we stated earlier; There is no difference, whatsoever, between the two wiring schemes, in connectivity or performance when connected form one modular device to another. The answer, is that it does not matter at all, unless you are terminating one end onto a punch block, in which case, the A method has an advantage. The main thing is that you choose one method, and stick with it. I recommend to all installers that they terminate one segment on both the jack and patch panel sides, and test for proper continuity. It has happened to many professionals, where they terminated the entire installation, and then discovered that the two ends were wired for different methods. Then they had to re-terminate all of the cables on one end completely to correct the situation.
The following charts should be very helpful in illustrating the difference between the A & B methods. For those who are not familiar with telephony, tip (T) refers to the positive (+) side, and ring (R) refers to the negative side of the circuit. The white/blue pair (the first pair in the cable) consists of two wires that are twisted together. They are the white/blue (tip) and the blue/white (ring). The white/blue wire is predominately white with a blue stripe. The blue/white is the inverse, predominately blue with a white stripe.
|
Category 5 Cable (UTP) (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
|
A multipair (usually 4 pair) high performance cable that consists of twisted pair conductors, used mainly for data transmission. Note: The twisting of the pairs gives the cable a certain amount of immunity from the infiltration of unwanted interference. category-5 UTP cabling systems are by far, the most common (compared to SCTP) in the United States. Basic cat 5 cable was designed for characteristics of up to 100 MHz. Category 5 cable is typically used for Ethernet networks running at 10 or 100 Mbps. | ||||
|
Category 5 E Cable (enhanced)
|
Same as Category 5, except that it is made to somewhat more stringent standards. The Category 5 E standard is now officially part of the 568A standard. Category 5 E is recommended for all new installations, and was designed for transmission speeds of up to 1 gigabit per second (Gigabit Ethernet). | ||||
|
Category 6
|
Same as Category 5 E, except that it is made to a higher standard. The Category 6 standard is now officially part of the 568A standard. | ||||
|
Category 7
|
Same as Category 6, except that it is made to a higher standard. The Category 7 standard is still in the works (as of this writing) and is not yet part of the 568A standard. One major difference with category 7’s construction (as compared with category 5, 5 E, and 6) is that all 4 pairs are individually shielded, and an overall shield enwraps all four pairs. Category 7 will use an entirely new connector (other than the familiar RJ-45). | ||||
|
Category 5 Cable (SCTP) (Screened Twisted Pair)
|
Same as above, except that the twisted pairs are given additional protection from unwanted interference by an overall shield. There is some controversy concerning which is the better system (UTP or SCTP). Category 5 SCTP cabling systems require all components to maintain the shield, and are used almost exclusively in European countries. | ||||
|
Category 5E, RJ45 jack
(Work Area Outlet) |
An 8 conductor, compact, modular, female jack that is used to terminate category-5E cable at the user (or other) location. The jack is specifically engineered to maintain the performance of cat 5E cabling. | ||||
|
Category 5E Patch Panel
|
A Category 5E Patch Panel is basically just a series of many category-5E jacks, condensed onto a single panel. Common panel configurations are 12, 24, 48, and 96 ports. Patch panels are typically used where all of the horizontal cable sections meet, and are used to connect the segments to the Network Hub. | ||||
|
Category 5E Patch Cable
|
A Category 5E Patch Cable consists a length of cat 5E cable with an RJ-45 male connector, crimped onto each end. The cable assembly is used to provide connectivity between any two category-5E female outlets (jacks). The two most common are from hub to patch panel, and work area outlet (jack) to the computer. | ||||
|
EIA/TIA 568A Standard
|
This standard was published in July of 1991. The purpose of EIA/TIA 568A, was to create a multiproduct, multivendor, standard for connectivity. Prior to the adoption of this standard, many “proprietary” cabling systems existed. This was very bad for the consumer. Among other things, the standard set the minimum requirements for category 5E cable and hardware. The 568 “standard” is not to be confused with 568A or 568B wiring schemes, which are themselves, part of the “568A standard”. | ||||
|
568A and 568B Wiring Schemes
|
When we refer to a jack or a patch panel’s wiring connection, we refer to either the 568A, or 568B wiring scheme, which dictates the pin assignments to the pairs of cat 5E cable. It is very important to note that there is no difference, whatsoever, between the two wiring schemes, in connectivity or performance when connected form one modular device to another (jack to Patch panel, RJ-45 to RJ-45, etc.), so long as they (the two devices) are wired for the same scheme (A or B). The only time when one scheme has an advantage over the other, is when one end of a segment is connected to a modular device, and the other end to a punch block. In which case, the 568A has the advantage of having a more natural progression of pairs at the punch block side. More on 568 A&B later on. | ||||
|
Four Pairs
|
|
||||
|
Wiremap
|
This is the most basic test that can be performed on a category-5E segment. Wiremap tests for the basic continuity between the two devices. In 568A or B, all eight pins of each device should be wired straight through (1 to 1, 2 to 2, 3 to 3, etc.). A wiremap (continuity) test, should also test for absence of shorts, grounding, and external voltage. | ||||
|
Crosstalk
|
Crosstalk is the “bleeding” of signals carried by one pair, onto another pair through the electrical process of induction (wires need not make contact, signals transferred magnetically). This is an unwanted effect, that can cause slow transfer, or completely inhibit the transfer of data signals over the cable segment. The purpose of the wire twists, in category 5E cable is to significantly reduce the crosstalk, and it’s effects. Two types are: NEXT (Near End Crosstalk), and FEXT (Far End Crosstalk). Fiber Optic cable is the only medium that is 100% immune to the effects of crosstalk. | ||||
|
Ambient Noise or Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
|
Similar to crosstalk, in that it is an unwanted signal that is induced into the cable. The difference is that ambient noise (or EMI) is typically induced from a source that is external to the cable. This could be an electrical cable or device, or even an adjacent category 5E cable. | ||||
|
Attenuation
|
Attenuation is the loss of signal in a cable segment due to the resistance of the wire plus other electrical factors that cause additional resistance (Impedance and Capacitance for example). A longer cable length, poor connections, bad insulation, a high level of crosstalk, or ambient noise, will all increase the total level of attenuation. The 568A standard, specifies the maximum amount of attenuation that is acceptable in a category-5E cable segment. |

Category 6 (CAT 6) technology is rapidly growing in the telecommunications industry’s commercial market. CAT 6 has been under development since late 1997. Originally, the wiring was intended to go from the 100 MHz capability of CAT 5 to 200 MHz, but later that was revised to 250 MHz. CAT 6 provides for other metrics as well, variables that become important at high bandwidth rates. These include crosstalk, or interference between wire pairs, and skew, the difference in timing of signals on the wires.
