NOTE: While Cat 5e UTP is the minimum category of twisted pair cabling, for the best
experience, and to minimize interference and cross-talk, Cat 6 STP or better is strongly
recommended. When using Cat 5e cabling, the layout and quality of your cable runs
and connections become extremely important. Please refer to the Cabling section on
page 5 for more detailed information. Any reference to Cat 5e cabling should be read
as Cat 5e or better.
