Suggestion Bullet Points On Whether to Install Cat5e or Cat6 Twisted Pair Cable In New Homes
When the everyday consumer reads information about varied types of cable they sometime get lost in the haystack searching for the ole proverbial pin. At this time the discussion is focused on Cat5 vs. Cat6 cable. For the long term deliberation on fiber optic cable installations is not even discussed.
So let's limit our comparison to Cat5e and Cat6 cable. To accomplish our comparison we must take a little time and look at some specifications on each type of cable. The story begins with Cat5 cable which will reinforce 10BASE-T and 100BASE-T network standards. It supports networks running at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps. Cat5e is an improved version of Cat5 that expands specifications for crosstalk. The added specifications of Cat5e enable it to support Gigabit Ethernet 1000BASE-T, or networks running at 1000 Mbps. If your foremostambition is Gigabit Ethernet, Cat-5e will work out wonderfully.
The Blunder
Consumers have been erroneously told that by running Cat6 they will then have a Gigabit Ethernet. If every linked component in the network is gigabit rated, then you will pull off a gigabit network. However, 99% of the time one does not have every component in their network capable of Gigabit Ethernet speeds. It makes sense that your network will always run at the speed of your slowest device. To pull off true Gigabit Ethernet speeds, every linked component on a network must be gigabit rated. Cat5e runs near or at Gigabit speeds it just won't be "certified" for this speed. The principal disparity between Cat5e and Cat6 cable is in the transmission performance. Cat5e can support gigabit speeds, however Cat6 is certified to handle gigabit Ethernet. In addition, Cat6 cable is better suited toward conditions that have lots of interference like power lines and lights. However. all of these negatives can be overcome with careful and judicious installation techniques. If you can be certain that all the components on your network are gigabit rated, and the volume of the data being transmitted calls for certified gigabit performance, then Cat6 is the way to go.
Cat6 Wire is a Higher Gauge
When it comes to Cat6 wire it must be understood that it is a slightly higher gauge than Cat5e. The reason is that because as you increase the number of twists per inch, you also increase the length of the wire. It makes sense that the longer the wire the greater the resistance in the wire. From an installation perspective one must realize that the wiring jacket is a lot heavier. The cable doesn't bend as easily because the copper is a slightly heavier gauge. All that adds up to a slightly harder to deal with from installing it in the walls to stripping it and punching down the individual wires. It is common knowledge that the price of copper is at an all time high so draw your own conclusions.
The Proper Conclusion
Once you come to the same conclusion as ninety percent of other consumers that Cat5e cable is the least costly, capable of gigabit speeds, and compatible with all the components that presently go into a LAN system, you will get down to figuring out how to install the universal structured wiring system.
Plausible Plan of Action
I would like to offer my many years of experience as a Security / Low-Voltage Contractor and give you a very credible plan of action. If you install the technology yourself you will save hundreds of greenbacks. To install your own structured wiring system you will first need to know exactly what componets are required. What specific electronics distribution panel, what telephone, data, video, and optional modules make up a successful system? What type of cables in addition to Cat5e wiring need to be pulled in the walls of your home? And just as meaningful, specifically which connectors or the best from and economical and installation point of view? You are going to need a book to lead you through the installation.
Installing Numerous Systems
It has been my experience that when home owners are considering one technology for their new or remodeled home, they are most likely considering other technologies as well. It would be in your best interest to have installation eBooks on each system you would like to include in your project. Read them all then purchase your equipment, special tools, and cable so that they are all on the job site ahead of your proposed start date.
Get Some Assistance On The Jobsite.
Don't even think that you will pull all the cabling through the walls by yourself. You will need at least one additional helper and hopefully a couple of additional set of hands. Depending on the total number of technologies being installed on a given job, it will likely take two or three people ten days to three weeks to adequately install systems.
Your Grandmother Could Install The Systems
When I say Granny could install the technologies, I don't actually mean that she would be realistically pulling the cables and mounting the panels. If Granny was the one who read the installation eBook, procured the components, and led the way, all she would need is a couple of relatives to provide her a hand or she could hire a couple workman for a short period of time. After all, this is not rocket science we are talking about here, it's just technology for your home.

What are the categories newer than CAT5 of Twisted pair cable? What are the specification and application of t?
CAT5e and CAT6.
This is the wrong place for a set of specifications, they are massive! Decide what you are trying to achieve then speak to a supplier and ask for guidance on what you need.
Generally, but not exclusively, 5e is good for streaming audio/general networking and 6 add video to the list. That said, I stream audio and video over CAT5 with no problems.
If you really want to read the specs try wikipedia or the IET (institute of engineering and technology).
