CAT5 and CAT6 cable on the other hand is more pliable and better suited for shorter distance movable cabling such as on the fly patch cabling The maximum cable length for 1 Gb s Ethernet is 100m when using solid cables for both CAT5e and CAT6 NEVER assume you can go any further than that Finally network cables are available as either straight or crossed cables This is a legacy trom old days when connecting e g two PC s directly to each other Nowadays most network equipment automatically find out whether they should operate with straight or crossed connections and adapt to that if necessary ee SUMMARY 1 Only use cat5e or cat6 cables 2 Make sure all 4 pairs in the cable are used 3 Make sure to use solid cables and not stranded cables for long cable runs 4 Never exceed 100m distance Infrastructure There are different types of network devices which perform different functions The main ones are a switch and a router Switches are used for connecting local devices together Switches have a number of ports typically 5 8 16 24 32 and upwards Each port can connect to one device so an 8 port switch allows you to interconnect e g 8 PC s Switches are generally non intelligent so they simply provide a connection between the devices Routers are used when a subnet needs to connect to another subnet or the Internet Routers are intelligent and act as a gateway to other networks They w
