[Category 5 wiring]

it's four-pair Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) wiring. the various categories relate to specific standards for wire quality, insulation, installation procedures, and outlets. CAT-5 is what you want if you're going to run an ethernet through your home. It can support 10Mbps and, if installed carefully, 100Mbps networking. when we were renovating our home, I pulled two lines of CAT-5 to every drop, so we could have networking and multiple phone lines at any location. of course we had no walls at the time, so it was easy. retrofitting into an existing structure would be difficult and expensive.
