Depending on the quality and type, network cables are classified into categories that help us know the characteristics of them.

The categories of network cables most commonly used are:

- Category 5
- Category 5e
- Category 6
- Category 6
- Category 7

As can be seen, category 5e (enhanced or improved) and category 6A (Augmented), are an improvement of categories 5and 6, respectively, which it has improved the top speed and bandwidth.

The higher the category, the higher the speed of maximum data, the maximum 100 meters distance as its standard.

You can see a table which shows the 5 categories, where V is the maximum velocity, D is the maximum and MHz frequency which can work away.

The CVBS is the acronym often with composite video is designated. The idea of ??this definition means Color, Video, Erase and Sync. The most used are the known wire coaxial connector and a BNC connector or RCA cables.

Correspond to DVR stands for digital video recorder, or DVR translated. The DVR in the case of the DVR Cablematic are systems of autonomous video surveillance that can store images from video surveillance chambers then it can be displayed on a PC or a TV because it has several outputs Normally inputs are BNC and outputs varies greatly depending on the model.

The impedance (Z) is a measure of opposition that a circuit to a current when a voltage is applied. The impedance extends the concept of resistance circuits alternating current (AC), and has both magnitude and phase, unlike resistance, which has only magnitude. When a circuit is powered with direct current (DC), there is no distinction between the impedance and resistance; the latter can be thought csa impedance with zero phase angle.

The BNC connector is a connector type, quick connect/disconnect, incoporando more security connector for coaxial cable. Initially designed as a miniature BNC Connector Type C is a type of connector used with coaxial cables like RG-58 and RG-59 RF applications that required a quick connector, suitable for UHF and constant impedance to over a wide range.

UTP cable is standard twisted pair is referred by its acronym UTP (Unshiedld Twiested Pair/Unshielded Twisted Pair). The major advantages of this cable are its low cost and ease of handling. Its main disadvantages are a higher error rate compared to other cable types and their limitations to work at high distances without regeneration. FTP is a type of cable caracteriza that each twisted pair is uniformly during creation. A comprehensive screening of all pairs is performed by a apantallante outer sheet. This technique allows to have similar characteristics to the shielded cable. STP is characterized by that each pair is covered with a metal mesh, in the same way that the coaxial cables, and the set of pairs is coated with a sheet apantallante. Referenced frequently with their acronym STP (Shield Twisted Pair/Shielded Twisted Pair)
