Twisted pair

Video starts by describing the main difference between Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) and Shielded Twisted Pair (STP). First the creators discuss about the Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) canceling capabilities of UTP and STP. However, the way each one is designed to cancel the interference is different. EMI can arise from many ways and from a number of sources, being either man made or natural. Interference is caused by an electromagnetic disturbance affecting the performance of a device

Coaxial cable is easy to install, unlike twisted pair cable and fiber optic cable that need specific tools to install and fiber optic even need professional to install. This cable is also easy to expand. Lastly, coaxial cable has moderate level of EMI immunity, it won’t get much interference like twisted pair cable do. (network, n.d.)   Disadvantages of Coaxial Coaxial cable has high attenuation rate over long distance. Besides

Department of Computer Science Assignment 2 CS 2204: COMMUNICATIONS AND NETWORKING   1. What is crosstalk? How is it minimized in case to twisted pair of wire? Crosstalk can be defined as the interference to a signal path from other localized signal paths. When several lines are close together, the current passing along one line may cause current to flow in one or more adjacent lines. This may be the result of capacitance between the two lines or the effect of inductance. This effect is known

Portfolio Assignment ITS 315: Introduction to Networks Mazen Alkhatib December 23, 2012 Network Implementation Over four months, a very short period of time, a small accounting firm grew from five employees to fifty. The existing network architecture could no longer support the exponential growth. Peer-to-Peer networks work very well in a small office environment. Once the ratio of employees exceeds around five employees resources, file storage and a plethora of other network disasters

maximum cable length of 500 metres, example: the 5 is for 500 metres This cable is connected using a device called a transceiver; it includes a piece of equipment that pierces the cable to connect to it. The connector is known as a piercing tap. Twisted Pair Cable: This cable is the most commonly used cable in computer networks. It is both efficient and reliable. It is also cost effective which means it is not expensive. One

Chapter 4: Mini Case 1: Smith, Smith, Smith, and Smith is a regional accounting firm that is putting up a new headquarters building. The building will have a backbone network that connects eight LANs (two on each floor). The company is very concerned with network errors. What advice would you give regarding the design of the building and network cable planning that would help reduce network errors? I have to make some assumptions regarding the network design for this new building. Since they

requirements discussed above. The diagram above shows the high level LAN network design that could be implemented. Inter-office connections could be done using Sate-590553175llite Communication or using a single point ISP provider to do the networking. Twisted pair will also be used to plug computers to the main internet socket to aid the roaming of the wireless users. Physical media selection: summary Physical media selection is very daunting task given that there as many products ready in the market

the following terms: Term Definition Application (in terms of cabling infrastructure) How cabling should be installed and it use. Unshielded Twisted –Pair A popular type of cable that consists of two unshielded wires twisted around each other. Shielded Twisted-Pair A type of copper telephone wiring in which each of the two copper wires that are twisted together are coated with an insulating coating that functions as a ground for the wires. Fiber-Optic Cable A type of cable that has a central

NT1210 Chapter 4 Lab 4.1.1 Why are standards so important for NICs, connectors, and media? Use your textbook and Internet research to justify your answer. Standards are put in place to make everything work together error free. Because Stability, Consistency, Minimization of packet errors. 4.1.2 The voltage for registering a bit of 1 on Ethernet can be as low as 2.5 volts or even 1 volt. Why is this so low when the capacity for transmitting electricity on the copper wire is so high? Use your
