What is the difference between the network cable cat5e 4p and 4pr?

　　The "CAT5e" and "4P" or "4PR" in the network cable logo represent the type and internal structure of the network cable respectively, and there are obvious differences between them, which are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

　　Network cable category: CAT5e

　　Definition: CAT5e is a super five-class network cable, which is an upgraded version of the five-class network cable.

　　Performance: Compared with Category 5 network cables, Super Category 5 network cables have significantly improved tranSMission performance and can support gigabit network transmission.

　　Application scenarios: Due to its high cost performance, it still has certain applications in ordinary home network cabling.

　　Second, the internal structure: 4P and 4PR

　　4P

　　Meaning: The "4P" here may not be a standard cable identification, but in some cases it may be used to indicate that there are 4 pairs of wires (Pair) inside the cable, that is, 8 cores. However, this representation is not common and may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.

　　Note: If you see a logo like "4P", it is best to combine other information (such as CAT labels, AWG wire gauges, etc.) to comprehensively judge the performance of the network cable.

　　4PR

　　Meaning: "4PR" is a more common sign of the internal structure of the network cable, which clearly indicates that there are 4 pairs of wires (Pair) inside the network cable, that is, 8 cores.

　　Standardization: This representation method is more standardized, which helps users quickly understand the internal structure of the network cable.

　　Application: On most network cable products, a similar "4PR" logo can be seen to indicate their internal structure.

　　III. Comprehensive comparison

　　Key differences: CAT5e identifies the category of cable (Super 5), while "4P" (if such a representation exists) and "4PR" describe the internal structure of the cable (4 pairs). In fact, "4PR" is more common and standardized.

　　Importance: When selecting a network cable, in addition to paying attention to its internal structure, it is more important to choose the appropriate network cable category (e.g. CAT5e, CAT6, etc.) according to actual needs to ensure the stability and speed of network transmission.

　　In summary, the "CAT5e" on the network cable identifies the category of the network cable as Super Five, while the "4PR" describes the structure of the network cable with 4 pairs of wires (8 cores) inside. When selecting a network cable, factors such as the type, internal structure, transmission performance and application scenarios of the network cable should be comprehensively considered.
