Hey guyz,
Tomorrow the guys from the cable internet company is coming to my house for wiring as my current wire(Cat 5) is damaged after years of use.
Now, few inside men tht handles the wiring was telling me that they gona use Cat4 wire and I was shocked to hear that as its an decade old thing that nobody uses anywhere, wheras few other ppl in their office says its Cat5 !!
I gone to their office which is nearby and I have checked the wire itself.
The wire is thick and pure copper but nothing is written on the wire itself except my ISP name (wonder how he was able to custom manufacture an wire).
So all I wana ask is how can I identify if the wire is Cat4 Or actually Cat5. Can I check it by splicing it ? BTW, the wire is thick black.
