In stp, — are then wrapped in an overall metallic braid or foil. STP reduces — from within the cable.

An — protects the BUNDLES of twisted pairs

is used to CONNECT THE COMPUTERS to the rest of the NETWORK.

A — forms a CIRCUIT that transmits data.

has one or more optical fiber ENCLOSED in a SHEATH or jacket.

is the cable that has a VERY THIN CORE.

is most commonly used for CABLE TELEVISION in the U.S.

— is the most COMMONLY used cabling in NETWORKS.

This means that FIBER-OPTIC CABLE can deliver signals that are clearer, and can go farther, without compromising the —

Glass Fiber Optic Cable

An — is a glass or plastic conductor that transmits INFORMATION using LIGHT.

is a coaxial cable used in networks operating at 10 MBPS, with a maximum length of 500 METERS.

usually is more expensive to use than copper cable, and the connectors are more costly and HARDER TO ASSEMBLE.

is the cable that has a thicker core than single-mode cable.

Common CONNECTORS FOR FIBER-OPTIC networks are —.

— can reach distances of several miles or kilometers before the signal needs to be REGENERATED.

You also need to be able to —2 problems along the way.

ALL SIGNALS are converted to — to enter the cable and are converted back into — when they leave it.

COAXIAL CABLES

is LESS SUSCEPTIBILITY TO INTERFERENCE.

A wide variety of networking cables are available. — cables use COPPER to transmit data.

— cables use GLASS OR PLASTIC to transmit data.

It is easier to make SIMPLER LIGHT SOURCES LIGHT EMITTING DIODES (LEDs) works few KILOMETERS OR LESS.

The pair is — to provide protection against —, the noise generated by adjacent pairs of wires in the cable.

is a copper-cored cable surrounded by a HEAVY SHIELDING.

These cables differ in —3

is a coaxial cable operating at 10 MBPS, ml 185 METERS.

This type of cable relies solely on the CANCELLATION EFFECT

is a type of copper cabling that is used for TELEPHONE COMMUNICATIONS and most ETHERNET networks.

Until recently, — were the only medium used to connect devices on networks.

Pairs of copper wires are encased in — and are twisted together.

SC, ST, and LC are —, which allows data to flow in only — Therefore, — cables are needed.

Fiber optic cable Because it is made of GLASS FIBER-OPTIC cable is not affected by —.

UTP relies solely on the cancellation effect produced by the twisted-wire pairs that limits SIGNAL DEGRADATION caused by — and —.

With — each pair of wire is wrapped in METALLIC FOIL to better shield the wires from noise.

UNSHIELDED TWISTED PAIR (UTP) is the cable that has

You need to know what type of cable to use based on the —.

UTP cables have a range of

It is harder to make, uses LASERS as a light source, and can transmit signals DOZENS OF KILOMETERS with ease.
