Cable types, connector types and cabling topologies are defined by [[TIA/EIA-568-B]]. Nearly always, [[8P8C|8P8C modular connector]]s (often referred to as [[Registered jack|RJ45]] connectors) are used for connecting category 5 cable. The cable is terminated in either the [[T568A]] scheme or the [[T568B]] scheme. The two schemes work equally well and may be mixed in an installation so long as the same scheme is used on both ends of each cable.

The use of [[balanced line]]s helps preserve a high [[signal-to-noise ratio]] despite interference from both external sources and [[crosstalk]] from other pairs.
