A number of Dutch webshops turns out cat5e cables to sell that no gigabitsnelheden over lengths longer than a few meters can be achieved. The cause seems to lie in the fact that not all veins of copper are made.
The finding emerges from a topic of Tweaker Sine on Gathering of Tweakers that also many other users to indicate the dupe to become of the inferior cables. Multiple kinds of no-name cat5e cables do not appear to be only copper wires; the blue/brown pairs are made of a different – yet unknown material that is ferromagnetic and has a significantly higher resistance than copper. As a result, it is not possible to a-quick gigabit connection over distances greater than a few meters.
Many users leave in the topic to know that they have the same problem. The cables appear to be already some time in circulation, some users reported that they for several years have problems with the speed of their network, and that after inspection, it turns out that due to the construction of the cables. All of the cables to the cat5e specification would gigabitsnelheden to be able to. One of the shops that have such cables sells, the description modified to indicate that despite the presence of a cat5e designation, gigabitsnelheden not be supported. It would primarily go to non-branded utp cables with dimensions between 100 and 300 metres in cardboard boxes to be delivered.
