What are the types of cable


a. Twisted pair cable


A twisted pair cable is a type of cable made by putting two separate insulated wires together in a twisted pattern and running them parallel to each other.



     a. STP
Shielded twisted pair (STP) cable was originally designed by IBM for token ring networks that include two individual wires covered with a foil shielding, which prevents electromagnetic interference, thereby transporting data faster.



   b. UTP


       





In an UTP cable, conductors which form a single circuit are twisted around each other in order to cancel out electromagnetic interference (EMI) from external sources.

b. Coaxial







A coaxial cable is a type of shielded and insulated copper cable that is used in computer networks and to deliver cable TV services to end users. It was first commercially implemented in the early 1940s and is used for both baseband and broadband data communication services.


c. Fiber Optic

A fiber optic cable is a network cable that contains strands of glass fibers inside an insulated casing. They're designed for long distance, very high-performance data networking, and telecommunications

What are the network topology?

           What are the network topologies? The following definations will help you to better understand network topology: Network Topology Node Physical Topology Logical Topology 1. Mesh topology   is a type of networking where all nodes cooperate to distribute data amongst each other. This   topology  was originally developed 30+ years ago for military applications, but today, they are typically used for things like home automation, smart HVAC control, and smart buildings. 2 . A  star topolog y   is a  topo log y  for a Local Area  Network  (LAN) in which all nodes are individually connected to a central connection point, like a hub or a switch. A  star  takes more cable than e.g. a bus, but the benefit is that if a cable fails, only one node will be brought down. 3. A   bus topology  is a   topology  for a Local Area  Network  (LAN) in which ...

        TY PES OF COMPUTER NETWORK A Personal Area Network(PAN) is a computer network for interconnecting devices centered om an individual person's workplace A PAN provides data transmission among'st devices such as computers, smartphones, tables and personal digital assistants. PANs can be used for communication among'st the personal devices themselves, or for connecting to a higher level network and the internet where one master devices takes up the role as gateway A PAN may be carried over wired computer buses such as USB. A Local Area Network(LAN) is a group of computers and associated devices that share a common communicatios line or wireless link to a server. typically, a LAN encompasses computers and peripherals connected to a servser within a distinct deographic area such as an office or commercial establishment. A Metropolitan Area Network(MAN) is a computer network that interconnects users with computer resources in a geographic area ...
