Is cat5e cable able to support gigabit speed?

Why not? Is rated for 1Gbps.

FYI :

cat5e can transfer up to 1Gbps (gigabit connection).
cat6 can transfer up to 10Gbps.

Yes, 10Gbps, maybe need to wait longer too. Only high end switch are using 10Gbps, but due to high CRC, many prefer to use fiber instead.

Also the Cat 6a, ah well we can never reach the best of the best..

rmbr for 1gbit on cat5 need use all 4 pairs of cable..

and make sure your contractor know about pulling network cable..

later.. not long he cut and sambung like electrial wire u hai lat

How much does the cat5e cable cost by meter? N how u guys plan for the unifi fibre cabling ? Plz advise as I need to Reno soon with the appropriate design. Thanks a lot

My unifi cable runs through a conduit in the roof, and down a central wall to terminate at the store room below the staircase. I bought maxwell Cat 6 cables and those cost me RM400 for one entire roll.

You can't pull fiber, you can only prepare empty conduit, and try not to have 90deg bending in the conduit. Put in cable puller in the empty conduit, so when the installer come over they will tap from the cable puller and pull out from another end.

This is how I did, and all the way to my "server room"

Can I assume that the conduit is from the telephone box at the back to the dedicated place (server room)? Besides, if we able to use back the existing telephone lines since I have 3 phone points. If yes, what will be the design?

Should I just put the unifi modem next to telephone box with hanging rack. Outlet phone line from the modem to connect to the existing phone line, will it work?

Unifi is fiber, you can't use the analog phone line you have. You can only distribute the phone via the old phone line.

Yes, that's what I mean. I am planning to it Hopefully the electrician wont mess up my lines.

I bought Comway cat5e 300m roll yesterday for RM230..quite cheap

cat6 is almost double the price

Where you bought it ? Mind to share?

Not heard of this brand before. For conceal, i usually use what normally use by the cabling guys. I use another brand my friend introduce, is cheaper than AMP, but surely not as cheap as Comway.

HUP LEE SEN ELETRICAL IN PG ISLAND

just made sure u got the full copper one, else if its un-open, try to change it to branded one like AMP....

AMP too expensive already. I go for 2nd best.

Why cant 90deg bending?? No problem one ler...

If cable / fiber already inside is not a problem. Try pulling fiber into conduit with 90 deg bend.

Hou much does CAT 5e keystone jack cost per unit.?

I got charged RM 10 w/o flap amd RM 20 w flap for keystone jack
