Change:
"Category 3 This category certifies UTP cable for data transmission up to 16
Mbps. It consists of...
Category 4 This category certifies UTP cable for data transmission up to 20 Mbps.
It consists of..."

To:
"Category 3 This category certifies UTP cable for data transmission up to 10
Mbps. It consists of...
Category 4 This category certifies UTP cable for data transmission up to 16 Mbps.
It consists of..."
