Category 4 is a description of network cabling that consists of four unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) wires with a data rate of 16 Mbit/s and provided performance of up to 20 MHz. It was used in token ring networks, 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T4, and is no longer common or used in new installations. It was quickly superceded by Category 5/5e cable, both of which have 100±15 ohm impedance.
