WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF CABLES



WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF CABLES?


  • Twisted Pair Cable  
  •   - STP
  •   - UTP
  • Coaxial Cable
  • Fiber-Optic Cable




 Cables - a thick rope of wire or nonmetallic fiber, typically used for construction, mooring ships, and towing vehicles. An insulated wire or wires having a protective casing and used for transmitting electricity or telecommunication signals.


TWISTED PAIR CABLE
  •  cabling is a type of wiring in which two conductors of a single circuit are twisted together for the purposes of improving electromagnetic compatibility.Is a type of cable made by putting two separate insulated wires together in a twisted pattern and running them parallel to each other.




        STP ( Shielded Twisted Pair )
  • able was originally designed by IBM for token ring networks that include two individual wires covered with a foil shielding, which prevents electromagnetic interference, thereby transporting data faster.

      


          UTP ( Unshielded Twisted pair )
  • cables are widely used in the computer and telecommunications industry as Ethernet cables and telephone wires.

COAXIAL CABLE

  • or coax is a type of electrical cable that has an inner conductor surrounded by a tubular insulating layer, surrounded by a tubular conducting shield. Many coaxial cables also have an insulating outer sheath or jacket.


FIBER - OPTIC CABLE

  • also known as an optical-fiber cable, is an assembly similar to an electrical cable, but containing one or more optical fibers that are used to carry light.

 Network devices -  " network "  device  is a component that makes up the  network  infrastructure such as modems, routers and switches. A "networked"  device  on the other hand refers to equipment that connects to a  network . Hub - is a simple device that directs data packets to all devices connected to it. S erves simply as a conduit for the data, enabling it to go from one device to another.  Switch - are the connectivity point of a wired network. Devices are connected via twisted - pair  cabling, one cable for each device. Router -  are completely different devices. I s hardware device designed to receive, analyze and move incoming packets to another network. Bridge - is used to divide larger network into smaller sections. It is located between two physical network segments and manages the flow of data between the two.  Network Interface Card - is a device that enables com...

WHAT IS A COMPUTER NETWORK? COMPUTER NETWORK - is a collection of networks . I s a set of  computers  connected together for the purpose of sharing resources. The most common resource shared today is connection to the  Internet . Other shared resources can include a printer or a file server.                      ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES  ADVANTAGES OF COMPUTER NETWORK                                                         Reduced Co st  Everyone in your home or office can share a single printer and a single high-speed internet connection at the same time.                                                    Increased Eff...
