CABLE
Cable is the medium
through which
information usually
moves from one
network device to
another.
EXAMPLES OF NETWORK
MEDIA:
1. Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
Cable
2. Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) Cable
3. Coaxial Cable
4. Fiber Optic Cable
5. Wireless LANs
1.UNSHIELDED TWISTED
PAIR (UTP)
The least expensive and most popular network
media.
The standard connector for unshielded
twisted pair cabling is an
RJ-45 connector.This is a plastic
connector that looks like a
large telephone-style
2. SHIELDED TWISTED PAIR
(STP)
Although UTP cable is
the least expensive cable,
it may be susceptible to radio
and electrical frequency
interference. Shielded cables
can also help to extend the
maximum distance of the cables.
2. SHIELDED TWISTED PAIR
(STP)
Although UTP cable is
the least expensive cable,
it may be susceptible to radio
and electrical frequency
interference. Shielded cables
can also help to extend the
maximum distance of the cables.
3. COAXIAL CABLE
Coaxial cabling has a single
copper conductor at its center.
A plastic layer provides
insulation between the center
conductor and a braided metal
shield. The metal shield helps
to block any outside interference from fluorescent
lights, motors, and other computers. This cable is
commonly used by television industries.
4. FIBER OPTIC CABLE
Fiber optic cabling
consists of a center glass
core surrounded by several
layers of protective
materials. It transmits light
rather than electronic signals eliminating
the problem of electrical interference.
5. Wireless LAN
• More and more networks are
operating without cables, in the
wireless mode.
• Wireless LANs use high frequency
radio signals, infrared light beams, or
lasers to communicate between the
workstations, servers, or hubs.
