Ethernetkábel

Ethernetkábel is the Hungarian term for an Ethernet cable, a common type of networking cable used to connect devices in a Local Area Network (LAN). These cables transmit data using electrical signals and are standardized by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) under the IEEE 802.3 standard.

Ethernet cables typically consist of four pairs of twisted copper wires enclosed in an insulating jacket. The twisting of the wires helps to reduce electromagnetic interference, ensuring a cleaner and more reliable signal. Different categories of Ethernet cables, such as Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a, and Cat7, offer varying levels of performance in terms of speed and bandwidth. Higher categories generally support faster data transmission rates and are more resistant to interference.

The most common connectors used with Ethernet cables are RJ45 connectors, which are modular plugs that fit into corresponding ports on network devices like computers, routers, and switches. Ethernet cables are widely used in homes, offices, and data centers for wired internet connections, connecting computers to modems, and for creating network infrastructure. While Wi-Fi is prevalent, wired Ethernet connections often provide greater stability, speed, and lower latency.
