In data communications applications, using products
that exceed required capacities is usually not a problem.
For example, if a 28 kbps modem is required, a 33.6 kbps
or 56 kbps model will work just fine.
For example, if a 28 kbps modem is required, a 33.6 kbps

But sometimes, more isn’t better. Take KVM extenders
designed to expect CAT5 and only CAT5 cable. You’d expect
that CAT3 cable wouldn’t be effective with these products.
that CAT3 cable wouldn’t be effective with these products.
But you may also assume that if CAT5 cable works fine,
CAT5e, CAT6, and other higher capacity cables would work
even better. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case, and here’s why.
even better. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case, and here’s why.
Many manufacturers’ KVM extenders, including ServSwitch
CAT5 KVM Extenders, are designed specifically for the CAT5
specs defined by the TIA/EIA standard. Higher-level cables,
such as CAT5e, have different characteristics and specifica-
tions. Although differences —specifically twist ratios —
might seem small, they can have a negative impact on these
extenders, which are expecting a true CAT5 transmission.

So with ServSwitch CAT5 KVM Extenders, you can think
big with CAT5.
