Picking the proper computer network cable for a resilient network. In this video Jim Gibson will discuss all the different types of cables that are used in different applications when cabling a computer network. Understanding Computer Network Cables: A Guide to Cat5e, Cat6, Cat7, Cat8 outdoor, direct burial, plenum rated, and riser rated cables. All cables for High-Speed Data Transmission are discussed in this video. Please feel free to leave a comment for requests for future videos.

Computer network cables are used to connect network devices and transmit data between them. Here are some common types of computer network cables:

Cat5e (Category 5e): This cable is capable of transmitting data at speeds of up to 1 Gbps and is commonly used in Ethernet networks. It is also used for telephone and video transmissions.

Cat6 (Category 6): This cable is an improvement over Cat5e and can transmit data at speeds of up to 10 Gbps. It is commonly used in enterprise-level networks and is also used for telephone and video transmissions.

Cat7 (Category 7): This cable is capable of transmitting data at speeds of up to 100 Gbps over a maximum distance of 100 meters. It is commonly used in data centers and high-speed networks.

Cat8 (Category 8): This cable is the latest addition to the family of network cables and is capable of transmitting data at speeds of up to 40 Gbps over a maximum distance of 30 meters. It is commonly used in data centers and other high-speed applications.

All of these cables are typically made with copper conductors. The choice of cable depends on the specific application, required speed and distance, and budget.
