Kabelcategorieën
Kabelcategorieën, also known as cable categories, are standardized classifications used to describe the performance and characteristics of electrical cables. These categories are primarily used in the field of telecommunications and data networking to ensure compatibility and performance. The most commonly referenced categorization system is the one established by the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) and the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA), which is often referred to as TIA/EIA-568.
The TIA/EIA-568 standard defines several categories of cables, each with specific performance characteristics. Category 1 (Cat
Category 5e (Cat 5e) and Category 6 (Cat 6) are designed for high-speed data communications, such as
Category 7 (Cat 7) and Category 7a (Cat 7a) are designed for even higher data rates and
Each category has specific performance characteristics, including bandwidth, attenuation, and crosstalk. These characteristics are important for
