Lots of technological advancements are occurring in communication and networking field day by day.  Introduction of network cables and network cabling caused the initial revolutionary leap in the telecommunication and business field. Later revolutionary growth was undertaken by the invention of voice cabling. It made a wide technological advancement. 

The term Voice Cabling can be simply defined as the wiring of a building that allows basic communication using devices such as telephone lines (land-based phone lines), modems, or analog lines. This wiring is highly required for telephone cabling or for network applications which enable interactive-voice communications. Voice Cabling is used for long distance communication by transmitting audio signals (voice) over cables at high speeds. Copper or fiber cables are usually used for carrying data to long distances. Normally voice cabling uses standard telephone jacks and voice-graded wire to connect land-based phone lines to the local communication systems. The main advantage is that they can carry larger amounts of data at higher speeds. 

Different Types of Voice Cabling 

Several new varieties of voice cabling have been developed in last few years to enhance the world wide telecommunication standards. 

• Category 1 cabling was very simple and common. It was mainly used for basic telephone communication and for wiring doorbells. In recent days this category cabling is no longer identified by the Telecommunication Industry Association.

• Category 3 cabling is used as the current standard for voice cabling. It is a copper unshielded twisted pair cable. It can transmit data at a rate of 10mb/second. Cat3 cabling was initially used by network administrators for their computers.

• Category 5 cabling is another category of unshielded twisted pair cable which is used for high signal reception. Hence it is suitable for long distance communications. A newer version of Cat5 cabling is recently introduced for enabling VOIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) transmission. Cat5 cabling is commonly known as ‘Ethernet Cable’.

The most recent categories of voice cabling are Cat5E, Cat6 FT61.
