Report2 G2 Network Cable

The document discusses different types of network cables, including their specifications and splicing tools. It describes coaxial cable, which was developed before computer networks for general use. Twisted pair cable types are UTP and STP. UTP cable length should not exceed 100 meters and commonly used categories are Cat5e, 6, and 6a. Fiber optic cable transmits data over long distances at high speeds up to 40km at 100Gbps. It discusses splicing tools for each cable type including strippers, connectors, and fusion/mechanical splicing for fiber optic cable.

Network Media

 Medium is the physical path


between transmitter and receiver in
a data transmission system
 Guided Medium: waves are guided
along a solid medium path (twisted
pair, coaxial cable, and optical
fiber).
 Unguided medium: waves are
propagated through the atmosphere
and inner/outerspace (satellite and
wireless transmissions).
Network Cable Types and
Specifications

 Coaxial cable
 Twisted-pair cables
 Fiber Optic Cable
Coaxial Cable
 The coaxial cables were not primarily
developed for the computer network. These
cables were developed for general purposes.
 They were in use even before computer
networks came into existence. They are still
used even their use in computer networks has
been completely discontinued.

Twisted Pair Cable
 UTP (Unshielded twisted-pair) cable, all pairs
are wrapped in a single plastic sheath.

 STP (Shielded twisted-pair) cable, each pair


is wrapped with an additional metal shield,
then all pairs are wrapped in a single outer
plastic sheath.
Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Cable
 Eight wire copper cable.
 The length should not be more than 100 meters
(328 ft) to avoid data loss.

Category
 Cat 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 are outdated and not used in any
modern LAN network.
 Cat 7 is still a new technology and not commonly
used.
 Cat 5e, 6, 6a are the commonly used twisted-pair
cables.
UTP Cable Splicing - Tools
 Crimping Tool
 attach a connector to the end
of a cable

 RJ-45
 UTP modular connector

 Cable Tester
 test each pin of ethernet

Fiber Optic Cable
 This cable consists of a core, cladding, buffer, and
jacket. The core is made from thin strands of
glass or plastic that can carry data over a long
distance.
 The core is wrapped in the cladding; the cladding
is wrapped in the buffer, and the buffer is
wrapped in the jacket.
 Fiber optic cable is completely immune to EMI
and RFI. This cable can transmit data over a long
distance at the highest speed. It can transmit
data up to 40 kilometers at the speed of 100Gbps.
Fiber Optic Cable Splicing - Tools

 Fusion Splicing
 Welded two fiber ends with
machine

 Mechanical Splicing

 Heat Shrink Tubing
