UTP Cat 5
UTP Cat 5
(OP)
Question play in my mind as the books always said that suggested usage on UTP Cat 5 cables to be used no more than 100metre.
Yes.I understood that the signal will be weaker as the length increase.But why? Was it a physical limitation? or the twisted pair that cause the limitations?
Where can I find the details of the "unknown"

If you exceede the 1/2" rule a little, yes the cable will most likely work. If you exceede the 100 meter rule a little, yes the network connection will most likely work. If you run a network analyzer on a properly terminated cable, and one that fudged the rules a little, I would imagine you would see the differnces in the test results, and it would be an area that could cause problems in the future.
As a rule, I adhere to the cabling rules/guidelines to ensure quality installations and full bandwidth availability.

Since the signal is so weak, it is essential to have adequate performance from the twisted-pair cable as that's what provides the common-mode noise rejection.
