There are several classifications of cable used for twisted-pair networks. I'll skip right over them and state that I use and recommend Category 5 (or CAT 5) cable for all new installations. Likewise, there are several fire code classifications for the outer insulation of CAT 5 cable.

NETWORK CABLE AND CONNECTORS
There are several classifications of cable used for twisted-pair networks. I'll skip right over them and state that I use and recommend Category 5 (or CAT 5) cable for all new installations. Likewise, there are several fire code classifications for the outer insulation of CAT 5 cable.
HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN CAT 5 TWISTED-PAIR NETWORK CABLES
INTRODUCTION. The purpose of this article is to show you how to make the two kinds of cables which can be used to network two or more computers together to form quick and simple home or small office local area networks (LANs). These instructions can also be used to make patch cables for networks with more complex infrastructure wiring.

Q. What is the best way to expand the number of PC Ports on a broadband router?
A. Most broadband routers on the market today are really a combination of a router and an Ethernet switch. The part of the router that the PCs connect to is the switch. It forms a local area network (LAN) of the computers connected to it. The router part of a broadband router/switch connects the PCs to the Internet via its WAN (Wide Area Network) port and its built-in NAT and DHCP server.
