Role of Cat 5e is irrefutable

Cat 5e cable happens to be the developed version of Cat 5 that plays commendable roles in adding specifications for far end crosstalk. In the year 2001 it was defined as the TIA/EIA-568-B standard and no longer discerns the original Cat 5 specification. It is true, even though 1000BASE-T was designed for usage with Cat 5 cable, the closely constrained specifications associated with Cat 5e cable and connectors make it an excellent option for use with 1000BASE-T.
Something more should be noted. In spite of the stricter performance specifications, Cat 5e cable does not make longer cable distances for Ethernet networks possible. Reason? One reason is that cables are still restricted to a maximum of 100 m (328 ft) in length (normal practice is to limit fixed (”horizontal”) cables to 90 m to allow for up to 5 m of patch cable at each end, this comes to a total of the previous mentioned 100m maximum). As per experts, Cat 5e cable performance characteristics and test methods are defined in TIA/EIA-568-B.2-2001 and you can find out the same provided that there is sufficient interest within you.
Studies suggest that the conflict is in the transmission performance, and also in the extension of the permissible bandwidth from 100 MHz for category 5e to 200 MHz for category 6.
It is also true that Category 6 will supersede category 5e in due course since scores of studies indicate that most of new installations will be installed with category 6. But the role of Cat 5e is undeniable.
