CAT5e, CAT6, & CAT6a Cable

CAT5e cabling has been around for over 15 years. It was the first cable to allow for Gigabit networks. In the past few years, hardware costs have come down and allowed Gigabit networking to become easier to afford. The most common network cabling installed today is still CAT5e. CAT5e cables are typically 24 gauge twisted pair wires, which can transport Gigabit speeds up to distances of 328 ft., including patch cables at both ends.

CAT6 cables became available a few years after CAT5e. CAT6 cable provides the ability to have a 10 Gigabit network. For quite a while, CAT5e was run to the workstations and CAT6 was run as a backbone from router to switches. It is important to note that 10 Gigabit network on Cat 6 cables is limited to 164 ft., including patch cables. At distances over 164 ft. CAT6 cable will only provide speeds the same as CAT5e ( i.e. 1 Gigabit)

CAT6a is considerably thicker then CAT6, which in turn is considerably thicker than CAT5e. Partly, this is due to the extra-thick plastic around the wires themselves, and partly due to the tighter winding of the pairs themselves, creating more copper per inch. CAT6a will allow 10 Gigabit per second networking for the full distance of Ethernet (328 ft.) CAT6a also reduces the crosstalk among the pairs, which further reduces the delay in the cables. CAT6a provides the best performance (10 Gigabit) at the full distance of 328 ft/100 meters and so it’s a more long-term solution.

Many companies are deploying servers in the cloud today. This means that if everything you do is in the cloud, and you require little internal networking, your limiting factor will be your Internet speed, not your cabling speed. Most probably, CAT5e will achieve faster connections than your Internet speed, making CAT5e the right choice.

Applications like video and audio editing/processing, AutoCAD, SQL databases, file transfers, and roaming profiles on domain controllers will all benefit greatly by having Cat 6A cables with 10 Gigabit networking.

With all that said, most of our customers today are still installing CAT5e based on current network hardware demands.

Demarcation Point

Regarding telephony and/or data circuits, the demarcation point is the point at which the service provider network ends and connects with the customer’s on-premises wiring. It is the dividing line which determines who is responsible for installation and maintenance of wiring and equipment, the customer/subscriber, or telephone company/service provider.

Demarcation point is sometimes abbreviated as demarc, DMARC, or similar. The term MPOE (minimum or main point of entry) is also used, with the added implication that it occurs as soon as possible upon entering the customer premises. A network interface device often serves as the demarcation point.

In most cases customers are responsible for extending telephony and/or data circuits from the demarcation point to their equipment which may be installed in their suite, in a server room, closet, or on a wall.

Typically carriers/service providers will only test up to the demarcation point. Past demarcation point it is up to the customer or their telephony/data vendor to test the circuit extension to their equipment.

Circuit extensions from the Demarcation point should only be installed or tested by companies that are licensed, insured, & bonded to perform Low Voltage cabling.

Are you using 100 year old or 20+ year old dial-tone technology ?

Analog Lines are 100+ Year Old Technology!

Analog Telephone Lines, also called Plain old telephone service (POTS) is voice-grade telephone service employing analog signal transmission over copper loops. POTS was the standard service offering from telephone companies from 1876 until 1988

POTS remains the basic form of residential and small business service connection to the telephone network in many parts of the world. The term reflects the technology that has been available since the introduction of the public telephone system in the late 19th century, in a form mostly unchanged despite the introduction of Touch-Tone dialing, electronic telephone exchanges and fiber-optic communication into the public switched telephone network (PSTN).

 

PRI’s are 20+ Year Old Technology!

The Primary Rate Interface (PRI) was first defined in 1988 and is still popular today with traditional service providers. PRI used to be the standard for providing telecommunication services to offices. It is based on the T-carrier (T1) line in the US.

 

Current Technology!

Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) trunking has been commercially available since the early 2000’s. SIP trunking is a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) standard by which Cloud service providers deliver telephone services and unified communications to customers equipped with SIP capable telephone systems. (IP-PBX)

The architecture of SIP trunking provides a partitioning of the Unified Communications network into two different domains of expertise:

Private Domain: a VoIP solution created on the customer’s network.

Public Domain: a VoIP access solution to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) in the Cloud

The interconnection between the two domains must occur through a SIP trunk.
