The Common Factor
Today, one of the most common types of signal cable is what is known as cat 5 cable. A cat 5 cable is a signal cable that is used to get a high integrity from whatever signal is being sent through the cat 5 cable. Typically, these cables are used for basic voice services, and Ethernet, as well. The balanced lines present in a cat 5 cable aid in preventing interference or crosstalk, and allow a high signal-to-noise ratio.
