Network Cables and its Specification

Computer Network Cable Types: Summary Network Cable Types and Specifications This tutorial explains the types of network cables used in computer networks in detail. Learn the specifications, standards, and features of the coaxial cable, twisted-pair cable, and fiber-optical cable Different 3 Types of Network Cables 1} Coaxial Cable Coaxial cables have a single copper conductor at the center, while a plastic layer provides insulation between the center conductor and braided metal shield. The metal shield blocks outside interference from fluorescent lights, motors, and other computers. Coaxial cabling is highly resistant to signal obstruction, although it can be complex to install. It can handle greater cable lengths between network devices than twisted pair cables. The two types of coaxial cables are thick coaxial and thin coaxial. Single core Coaxial Cable A center copper conductor encircled by insulating material and a braid...
