What are the types of cable?
What is a Cable? -Cable is an an insulated wire or wires having a protective casing and used for transmitting electricity or telecommunication signals. A. Twisted Pair Cable -type of cable that consists of two independently insulated wires twisted around one another. The use of two wires twisted together helps to reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic induction. While twisted-pair cable is used by older telephone networks and is the least expensive type of local-area network (LAN) cable, most networks contain some twisted-pair cabling at some point along the network. Other types of cables used for LANs include coaxial cables and fiber optic cables. STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) STP is similar to UTP but with each pair covered by an additional copper braid jacket or foil wrapping. This shielding helps protect the signals on the cables from external interference. ...
