Problem Solving. Category5 cable, commonly referred to as CAT-5, is a twisted pair cable for data networks. Since 2001, the variant commonly in use is the Category5e specification (CAT-5e). The cable standard provides performance of up to 100MHz and is suitable for most varieties of Ethernet over twisted pair up to 1000BASE-T(Gigabit Ethernet). We would like to transmit information over a CAT-5 twisted pair cable at 500 Mbps. (a)What is the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 30 dB adequate to transmit 500 Mbps? (Convert the SNR of 30 dB to a numerical value then apply the Shannon Theorem). (b) What is the SNR required to just adequately transmit at 500 Mbps? Express your answer in decibels for the SNR(that is, SNRdB)
