  2. Section 1 • BUDGET ANALYSIS

  3. DATA CABLING UPGRADES Cat5 Cat6 Reduced ‘Crosstalk’ Electronic equipment (including cat cables) emit electromagnetic signals. When lots of cables are near one another, these cables can interfere with one another. This interference is referred to as “crosstalk”. Crosstalk increases errors and lost packets (among other issues). Newer versions of cat cables reduce the impact of crosstalk through a variety of methods, including improved shielding and twisted cable design. Significantly Higher Speeds • Obsolete Cat5 cable can handle up to 10/100 Mbps at a 100MHz bandwidth, the newer versions of Cat cables are significantly faster. Cat5E cable (which stands for “Cat5 Enhanced”) became the standard cable about 15 years ago and offers significantly improved performance over the old Cat5 cable, including up to 10 times faster speeds.
