The cable pairs within an ethernet cable have different twist rates, to reduce crosstalk.
- ssl-3 2y agoOn some ethernet cables. Therein lies the difference between Cat5 and Cat5e: Cat5 pairs were all twisted at the same frequency, while Cat5e pairs must not be twisted at the same frequency. (This is also how we were able to transition so quickly and cheaply from Cat5 to Cat5e: All that was needed to produce Cat5e on a line that had been producing Cat5 was just a relative speed change on the machines that twisted up the individual pairs.)
