Cable Specifications
The Webcache supports the following cable types:
■
Category 3
One of five grades of Twisted Pair (TP) cabling defined by the
EIA/TIA-586 standard. Category 3 is voice grade cable and can only be
used in Ethernet networks (10BASE-T) to transmit data at speeds of up
to 10 Mbps.

■
Category 5
One of five grades of Twisted Pair (TP) cabling defined by the
EIA/TIA-586 standard. Category 5 can be used in Ethernet (10BASE-T)
and Fast Ethernet networks (100BASE-TX) and can transmit data at
speeds of up to 100 Mbps. Category 5 cabling is better to use for
network cabling than Category 3, because it supports both Ethernet
(10 Mbps) and Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) speeds.
