Types of Ethernet Cable

Learn the basics in making an Ethernet cable.

1. ACTIVITY: Paper Tower Challenge The class will be divided into five groups; each group will received 5 papers from the teacher . Each group will think of their strategy to build the tallest free standing paper tower. The group who can survive the different tests that the teacher will do to each group’s output will be announced as the winner. This activity is only good for 15 minutes .

10. 3 Cable Types Commonly U sed F or Ethernet Cabling

11. A. COAXIAL CABLING It is generally used for cable internet access. This was used for computer networks, but today are largely replaced by twisted-pair cabling.

12. B. TWISTED-PAIR CABLING It is the most popular type of cabling nowadays. It can be used for telephone and network cabling.

13. 2 VERSIONS: UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) STP (Shielded Twisted Pair)

14. Though the two aren’t terribly different from one another, the way unshielded twisted pair cabling and shielded twisted pair cabling cancel out electromagnetic interference is .

15. Twisted-pair cabling comes in two: Straight-through cable – this type of cable has identical wiring on both ends. Crossover cable – wire pairs are swapped, which means that different pins are connected together.

16. TAKE NOTE: Straight through cables are primarily used for connecting unlike devices .

17. TAKE NOTE: Crossover cables are use for connecting like devices .

18. Use straight through cable for the following cabling: Switch to router Switch to PC or server Hub to PC or server Use crossover cables for the following cabling: Switch to switch Switch to hub Hub to hub Router to router Router Ethernet port to PC NIC PC to PC

19. C. FIBER-OPTIC CABLING It uses optical fibers to transmit data in the form of light signals. T his cabling method has many advantages over other methods but it’s drawback is that it is the most expensive type of cabling .
