COMMON NETWORK
CABLES
COMMON NETWORK CABLES
Until recently, cables were the only medium
used to connect devices on networks. A wide
variety of networking cables are available.
Coaxial and twisted-pair cables use copper to
transmit data. Fiber-optic cables use glass or
plastic to transmit data. These cables differ in
bandwidth, size, and cost. You need to know
what type of cable to use based on the job
requirements. You also need to be able to
troubleshoot and repair problems along the way.
❑ ADVANTAGE:
• Cheap.
• Easy to work with
❑ Disadvantage:
Low data rate
Short range
TYPES OF TWISTED PAIR CABLE
•Thinnet (10BASE2)
- is
a coaxial cable used in
networks operating at 10 Mbps,
with a minimum length of 185
meters
TYPES OF COAXIAL
CABLE
• RG-59
- is most commonly
used for cable television in
the U.S.
• RG-6
- is a higher quality
cable than RG-59, with more
bandwidth and less
susceptibility to interference
THINNET VS THICKNET
FIBER-OPTIC
CABLE
• An optical fiber is a glass or
plastic conductor that
transmit information using
light
• Fiber optic cable has one or
more optical fiber enclosed
in a sheath or jacket.
FIBER-OPTIC
CABLE
• Because it is made of glass,
fiber-optic cable is not
affected by EMI or RFI.
• All signals are converted to
light pulses to enter the
cable and converted back
into electrical signals when
they leave it.
FIBER-OPTIC
CABLE
• Fiber optic cable can reach
distances of several miles or
kilometers before the signal
needs to be regenerated
TWO TYPES OF GLASS
FIBER-OPTIC CABLE
• Multimode
- is the cable that has
a thicker core than single-
mode cable.
- easier to make, use
simpler light sources such
as Light Emitting Diodes
(LED)
TWO TYPES OF GLASS
FIBER-OPTIC CABLE
• Single-mode
- is the cable that has
a very thin core.
- It is harder to make,
uses lasers as light source,
and can transmit signals
dozens of kilometers with
ease
COMMON CONNECTORS
• SC (Standard Connector)
- The SC connector
comes with a locking tab that
enables push on / pull off
operation.
COMMON CONNECTORS
• ST Connector
- The ST connector’s
keyed bayonet design is
similar to that of a BNC
(Bayonet Nut Connector or
Bayonet Neill-Concelman)
connector.
COMMON CONNECTORS
• LC (Lucent Connector)
- The Lucent Connector,
sometimes referred to as the
Little Connector, is a small
form factor FOC that uses a
1.25 mm ferrule.
MATERIALS NEEDED IN TERMINATING
STRAIGHT THROUGH/CROSS-OVER CABLE
• ETHERNET CABLE
(CAT5 or CAT5e)
• RJ 45
• CRIMPING TOOL
• LAN TESTER
