In today's office or home it is essential that if you wish to use a high speed internet connection or Voice over the Internet (VOIP) and share files on a LAN or indeed WAN then your basic network infrastructure needs to be of the highest quality.

IP Digital offer many network infrastructure solutions including the most cost effective and common which are listed below:

Category 5 cable, commonly known as Cat 5 or "Cable and Telephone", is a twisted pair cable type designed for high signal integrity. Many such cables are unshielded but some are shielded. Category 5 has been superseded by the Category 5e specification.

At IP Digital we are leading the way in quality, affordable voice & data networks.

This type of cable is often used in structured cabling for computer networks such as Ethernet, and is also used to carry many other signals such as basic voice services, token ring, and ATM (at up to 155 Mbit/s, over short distances).

Category 5e

Cat 5e cable is an enhanced version of Cat 5 that adds specifications for far end crosstalk. It was formally defined in 2001 in the TIA/EIA-568-B standard, which no longer recognizes the original Cat 5 specification.
