using 100BaseVG, cat-3 can be used to carry a 100Mbps network. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.92.144.73 (talk • contribs) 17:05, October 11, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Question regarding CAT 3 description

Cat 3: 10 Mbit/s cables, a well-known variant of Cat 5 cables.

How can soemthing that predates an item be a variant of that item? In this case, CAT 3 predates CAT 5. It would be acceptable for CAT 5 to be a variant of Cat 3, but not the other way around. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by SKnipfing (talk • contribs) 14:22, January 18, 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Siemon/TERA material

I noticed some Siemon link-spam in other articles (for example, alinkmasquerading as "Optical Fiber Cabling Standards"). I noticed the same editor posted stuff here about his company's product. I have removed it and put it here on the talk page:

"Also being considered is a non-RJ-45-compatible standard developed by Siemon which forgoes compatibility in exchange for performance, and doubles the transmission frequencies of RJ-45.[1] The TERA interface is the only non-RJ category 7/class F industry-standard connector recognized within ISO/IEC 11801 Ed. 2.0 and the cable is rated for transmission frequencies of up to 1200 MHz. The TERA category 7/class F connector is also the only approved interface to meet the US government's TEMPEST/EMSEC security guidelines."

Along the same lines, I also removed:

[edit] Only 600 MHz with GG45

I think, the Nexans GG45 Connectors works with frequencys up to 1000 MHz http://e-service.nexans.com/eservice/Navigate.nx?navigationId=14080#top —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.65.212.98 (talk • contribs) 13:38, August 8, 2006 (UTC)
