I don't know about the UL specifications, but CAT5 is not rated at
1,000mbps.  It may work, but there will be no guarantee.  CAT5 is designed
to be rock-solid at up to 100mbps.  If you want 1000baseT, you'll need to
bump up to CAT5e or CAT6 (the latter is VERY expensive) otherwise, you take
your chances.

Subject: [newbie] Category 5 cable question


I just bought a 1,000ft CAT5 cable. On the box it show "UL Type CM/MP".
My question is what is type CM/MP? Will it be able to run at 1,000mps?
Thank you.
Tuan
