Copper wire is made by drawing copper rods through dies of decreasing sizes. More dies are needed to make a thinner wire. The American Wire Gauge (AWG) number is the actual number of dies used to make the wire. A 24 AWG wire is made by drawing the copper through 24 dies. Cat 5e cabling can be used with the 1000BASE-T standard. 1000BASE-TX requires Cat 6 cabling. The 1000BASE-TX standard can also be implemented with simpler electronics.

A thinner wire of the same material has a higher resistance per unit distance than a thicker one. In house wiring, a thicker gauge wire (lower number) can usually carry a higher current. 14 gauge Romex cable usually has a 15 Amp breaker and a 12 gauge cable has a 20 Amp breaker. This assumes that the switches, outlets, etc. have the same current rating as the cable. Putting a 20 amp breaker on a 14 gauge circuit produces a potential fire hazard.
