Tools and materials to be used in LAN Cabling.

1. UTP Cable -Cat5e Cable

 1000Mbps data capacity
 For runs up to 90 meters
 Solid core cable ideal for structural installations (PVC or Plenum)
  Stranded cable ideal for patch cables
 Terminated with RJ- 45 connectors

UTP Characteristics:

1. Unshielded
2. Twisted pairs of insulated conductors
3. Covered by insulating sheath.

a. Conductor
b. Insulation
c. Pair
d. Sheath
