What are the Types of Cable?
A. Twisted-pair -is the most common type of cable. -has eight individual copper wires bundles together and covered with an insulating material. a. STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) -often used in "noisy" environments where a shield of metallic foil is wrapped around each of the wire pairs, with an additional overall shielding to protect against excessive electromagnetic interference. b. UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) -is the most common form of twisted pair wiring. -it is less expensive and easier to work with than ST P. B. Coaxial -the standard media used by cable TV operators. -it consists of a plastic insulator that separates the solid copper inner conductor and the woven, copper braid outer conductor. C.Fiber-optic -has a reflective coating that allo
