  The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Hurricane Charley of 2004 was a Category Four hurricane made landfall in Charlotte County, Florida with winds of 150 mph.
Hurricane Katrina (pdf), a category 5 storm over the Gulf of Mexico, was still responsible for at least 81 billion dollars of property damage when it struck the U.S. Gulf Coast as a category 3.
In addition, Hurricane Wilma (pdf) of 2005 was a Category Five hurricane at peak intensity and is the strongest Atlantic tropical cyclone on record with a minimum pressure of 882 mb.

  Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Unlike the Saffir-Simpson Scale, severity categories are based on strongest wind gusts and not sustained winds.
Severity categories are scaled somewhat lower than the Saffir-Simpson Scale, with a severity category 2 tropical cyclone being roughly equivalent to a Saffir-Simpson category 1 hurricane.
It does not take into account rainfall or location, which means a Category 3 hurricane that hits a major city will likely do far more damage than a Category 5 hurricane that hits a rural area.

 Category 5 cable - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Category 5 cable, commonly known as Cat 5, is an unshielded twisted pair type cable designed for high signal integrity.
Cat 5 cables are often used in structured cabling for computer networks such as Fast Ethernet, although they are also used to carry many other signals such as basic voice services, token ring, and ATM (at up to 155 Mbit/s, over short distances).
Generally solid core cable is used for connecting between the wall socket and the socket in the patch panel whilst stranded cable is used for the patch leads between hub/switch and patch panel socket and between wall port and computer.

 Category 5 / 5E & Cat 6 Cabling Tutorial and FAQ's - the best source for information on Cat 5 / 5e / 6 cable!
Category 5 E is recommended for all new installations, and was designed for transmission speeds of up to 1 gigabit per second (Gigabit Ethernet).
One major difference with category 7's construction (as compared with category 5, 5 E, and 6) is that all 4 pairs are individually shielded, and an overall shield enwraps all four pairs.
Category 5 SCTP cabling systems require all components to maintain the shield, and are used almost exclusively in European countries.

 Testing & Troubleshooting Category 5 Wiring in Commercial Buildings   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Category 5 cabling system certification verifies that no faults occurred during installation, and ensures that the system will perform to the end-user's requirements.
Importance of Marking Cat 5 Cable Prior to Installation: It is very important to mark Category 5 cable ends prior to pulling them to outlets, as conventional locating equipment (toner and probe) does not work for identifying the run along the length of the cable.
But for Category 5 UTP and Extended l50 ohm STP, test sets to verify performance to the upper limit of the cabling system characterization are defined by TS13-67.

 Category 5 UTP Cable Information
Each of the four conductor pairs is twisted together at a slightly balanced high-speed communications circuit and to reject electrical interference or "noise" from sources such as power wiring, fluorescent and HID ballasts, motors, and so on.
Category 3 cabling, at just 16 MHz, was originally intended for slower computer networking protocols like old-style Ethernet.
But because there are no extended performance Cat 5 outlets and patch panels to connect to these premium cables, there are no guarantees the resulting system can perform at that rating.

 FAQ : HURRICANES, TYPHOONS, AND TROPICAL CYCLONES
Categories of cyclone severity range from " 1 " for weak cyclones to "5" for the most severe cyclones.
Accordingly, the risk of property and crop damage, shore erosion and danger to life increases from low for a category 1 to very high for a category 5 cyclone.
It must be emphasised that the category refers to the severity in the zone of maximum winds and therefore the effects felt at individual locations may not be exactly as described in the accompanying table.

 Categories of twisted pair cabling systems - a Whatis.com definition - see also: CAT 1, CAT 2, CAT 3, CAT 4, CAT 7, CAT ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
ANSI/EIA (American National Standards Institute/Electronic Industries Association) Standard 568 is one of several standards that specify "categories" (the singular is commonly referred to as "CAT") of twisted pair cabling systems (wires, junctions, and connectors) in terms of the data rates that they can sustain effectively.
While longer connections for Gigabit Ethernet use optical fiber, the goal is to leverage the CAT 5 and CAT 5E twisted-pair wiring most organizations already have in place for connections out to the desktop.
CAT 3 cabling is near-end crosstalk-certified for only a 16 MHz signal, while CAT 5 cable must pass a 100 MHz test.

 Funagain Games: Category 5
When Cat 5 was released, I knew it was the redux of 6N, but recently I have been entertaining large groups of people, so I've been on the lookout for games that are easy to teach and that can handle several people.
Any time a player must place a card, if it is the SIXTH card in the row, they must take the previous 5 cards in that row as penalty points, and put their 6th card as the new first card in that row.
Knowing when to get rid of high or low cards, or to try and squeeze in a card into the 5 spot, or to try and go “high and under” (hard to explain until you play the game) hoping to avoid the points: these are all tactics that their own right place and time.

 Mary Blair Category 5 Handbook
As a general rule, the entire bundle of Category 5 cable that is tied should be able to slide freely back and forth inside the cable tie.
Modern building codes preclude Category 5 cables from being tied to electrical conduit, water or steam pipes, air-ducts, drop-ceiling wires, etc. In general cables should be supported by structural components of the building such as steel beams.
We believe the category 5 cabling the volunteers installed is in perfect harmony with the goals of the Strategic Plan.

 How to Make a Category 5 /5e Patch Cable
Due to an overwhelming response to our category 5 & 6 tutorial, and many requests for information and wiring diagrams of "straight through" and "crossover" (cross-pinned) patch cords, I have made this informational page.
Ordinarily, it would be taboo to untwist the pairs of any category 5 cable.
Since Gigabit networks over copper cabling are in their infancy, and no one can say for sure, we would advise our customers to take the safe approach on all future patch cable orders.
