Coaxial Cable VS. Cat 5

[Q] Is Coaxial Cable faster than CAT 5 Cable?

[A] Not at all. In order to understand the answer to this question, you must first understand the history of the cable itself. Cat 5 Cable originally was designed to handle data transmission speeds of 10 Megabits Per Second. This is the same speed that coaxial cable operates at. Improvements in the construction of CAT 5 Cable, and the further development of twisted pair cabling that has given way to CAT 5e, CAT 6, and many other types of cable has allowed twisted pair cabling to operate at much higher speeds than coaxial cable.

CAT 5 Cable has other specific advantages as well. The cost of twisted pair cabling is much cheaper in most cases than using a coaxial cable. CAT 5 Cable also weighs much less than coaxial cable, and is therefore easier to use in certain installation applications. Continued development of twisted pair cable will allow for even higher transmission speeds in the years to come.

Most CAT 5 Cable is used in applications where computers are joined together on a network. There are also a great deal of installations involving home networks, or at the very least, the sharing of a broadband internet connection between diferent computers in a home or office. All of these installations can be easily and efficiently handled by the use of CAT 5 Cable. It is an effective and inexpensive means to create a reliable network.
