Cat 5???
5e according to the web page, rep missed an opportunity.
I'm a sucker for colorful cables but shopping kills the deal.
Also a sucker for unfortunate spelling too!
Bloody autocorrect. :)
$15 post for ~50 cables doesn't seem too bad, does it?
Could you suggest a better place for 30-50 cables (all 1-3m)- I need some! Ta.
Some cables are listed as cat5e in the description, and just cat5 in title/heading.
Be nice for the rep to confirm if title or description is correct.
I called - they confirmed 5e (at least for when the description states, as per the 25 deal)
wire gauge?
does gauge affect network cables? thought the speed was fixed
it would impact more on things like usb cables that need to do charging for example, wouldnt it?
Heavy gauge network cables are essential for digital audio signals.
They help keep the brightness and sparkle in the signal, without losing neutrality. Light gauge data-spec cables tend to sound more translucent, often with a hint of orthoganality.
It all comes down to rounding errors. Quality cables ensure the 1's and 0's going in one end will come out the other end as precise 1's and 0's. Lighter cables often blur the signal, with high bits ranging from 0.998 to 1.002, sometimes even up to 1.005; and low bits spread over a ±0.003 range.
Some people claim that they can't detect a difference on networked digital systems. That's typical of an uneducated, undiscerning audience.
You need very expensive network cables to make the most of your valuable iTunes library.

(just kidding. as long as the wire is intact and the signal gets through, wire gauge doesn't matter for a network cable. different qualities of cable will be more or less durable than another… but I find the RJ45 plugs are always the first point of failure)
Wire gauge has nothing to do with Ethernet cable. What is more important is how many pairs of pins are PROPERLY terminated. For 100BaseTX, you need a minimum of two pairs of pins. For GigabitEthernet (yes, you can run GigabitEthernet on a Cat5e cable), you'll need another pair of pins. PoE requires another pair of pins.
I am in an industry where I need to constantly test Ethernet cables (using TDR) only to find one (or more) pins are not working.
If this is the case that the cables are faulty, you also need to ask about the return agreement with the seller.
thanks for this information, i prefer to buy atleast 24awg as that's what I use and they have never failed me. if these are atleast 24awg then im sold with the 20m 10pcs package.
$12 delivery to 2000 or 3000 (probably other postcodes too, eParcel).
