27 Link cable interference protection While the Category rating (e.g. CAT 5e, CAT 6a, etc.) determines the electrical performance of a cable, another vital part of the overall cable specification is its protection from interference. As cabling distances and data rates increase, so too does the susceptibility to interference, from both external and internal sources. Proximity to other electromagnetic sources are the main external...
