Category 5 cable (Cat 5) is a twisted pair high signal integrity cable type. This type of cable is used in structured cabling for computer networks such as Ethernet and ATM, and is also used to carry many other signals such as telephonyand video. Most Category 5 cables are unshielded, relying on the twisted pair design for noise rejection. Category 5 has been superseded by the Category 5e specification.
I usually use these cables in my robotic projects as well, as they come in a well packaged easy way and one can easily setup one protocol to use one color for one kind of signal :-)
