What Is a Network Patch Cable?
The most common definition of a network patch cable is an eight-wire cable that consists of four pairs of twisted wires terminated with RJ45 connectors at either end. There is also a fiber patch cable that uses fiber optic material with fiber optic connectors at either end. Both of these patch cable types are used to connect two network devices together, for the purpose of passing data between them. Typically, network patch cables fall under the Cat5 or Cat5e cable standards, with the newer Cat6 standard now being manufactured and sold for the higher-speed Gigabit networks.
Network patch cables are thought of as an Ethernet cable, and the term "Ethernet patch cable" is often substituted. While these cables are routinely used to connect Ethernet devices, they also are used in many different telecommunications applications. ATMs are one of the more commonly used high-speed technologies that employ network patch cables.
The most common types of network patch cables in today's marketplace are Cat5 and Cat5e. The major difference between the two is the length that the cable can be reliably manufactured to, and the reduction of far-end crosstalk. In the last several years a Cat6 category has emerged. Cat6 is rated for 550 meters, while Cat6e is rated for 1,000 meters, but this is vendor-specified, as opposed to a universally accepted standard.
