what happens if i tried to pass 1000mbps data through a cat 5 cable?

Answer 1

CAT 5 cable *can* transmit at those speeds but it really comes down to the quality of the wire. The new standard for gigabit transfers is CAT5e, just slightly better wiring set up. Also, CAT6 cable transmits at higher frequencies, wire is shielded, and the individual twisted pairs are seperated. Really all it comes down to is manufacturing 'standards.' CAT 5, 5e, 6 all work the same just the difference of the line quality. If your CAT 5 isn't in an optimum environment or line quality it might just transmit at a slightly slower rate, nothing to worry about or rewire your house/work place.

Answer 2

I goes through to the other end.

The data rate is more so a hardware restriction than that of the cable. If the cable is pinned properly then it can handle 10/100/1000 rate data transfers. To achieve the 1000 it needs to be properly pinned where the 10/100 makes little difference so long as the ends match.

Answer 3

the information could pass easily. Cat5 is qualified for 1Gb. For those of you who disagree or are not time-honored, i prefer to propose a re-study of IEEE 802.3ab. this is the familiar for Gigabit Ethernet. in the adventure that your Ethernet cable can no longer carry a Gigabit sign one hundred meters, this is not any longer a CAT5 compliant cable or this is not any longer put in wisely.

Answer 4

Over shorter distances it can give good 1000M performance, at longer lengths I have seen it drop the connection to 100M. It works at very long distances on 100.

Answer 5

can't do it. Cat-5 isn't capable. Although it won't hurt anything, you will get slower speeds than you would with cat-6

Answer 6

You're good as long as your hardware can handle the speed.

Answer 7

Looks like it *could* work, per IEEE 802.3ab

Answer 8

It will travel at 100mbps.
