What is Network Cabling?

Network cabling is the process of connecting devices to an Internet source. For network cabling to be effective, one can pay attention to the length of the cable, the shielding, the cable’s data rate, and where it will be installed. The data rate (or speed) allows network cables to transfer millions of data per second. This speed depends on the purpose of a cable (if it is installed in a commercial building or at home). Network cables can come in extensive lengths and thick shieldings that protect the cable conductors from EMI or external factors. In commercial buildings, installed network cables are fire-rated and plenum-rated.

 

 

The Different 4 Types of Network Cables

The Different 4 Types of Network Cables Network cables can be divided into four types: coaxial, shielded twisted pair (STP), unshielded twisted pair (UTP), or fibre optic.

  • 1. Coaxial Cables
  • 2. Shielded Twisted Pair Cables
  • 3. Unshielded Twisted Pair Cables
  • 4. Fibre Optic Cables

Fibre optic cables can be single-mode fibre or multi-mode fibre. SMF cables support longer distances, while MMF cables carry more data.

The Different Categories of Network Cables

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Each network cable type works with one or more categories. These categories provide efficient and better results for different cable types and are divided into eight segments:

Cat1 – category one cables are used for wire telephones and modems. Unshielded twisted pair cables are the most common cable type in this category.

Cat2 – this category was widely used in the 1980s for telephones and ring networks.

Cat3 – in the early 1990s, category three cabling were ethernet cables composed of four twisted pairs of wires. They can be commonly found in older buildings.

Cat4 – this cabling, like Cat3, is commonly seen in old buildings. It was used for token ring purposes.

Cat5 – Category 5 cabling was introduced in the mid-1990s with a fast ethernet potential. It was used for its high speed and resistance.

Cat6 – category 6 provides a more significant data transfer rate than Cat5. It is used in commercial buildings that require extensive Gigabit ethernet. In 2009, Cat6a was introduced as an augmented version of Cat6.

Cat7 – this cabling provides a more potent core infrastructure. The Cat7a refinement is capable of transmitting 40 Gigabits. Cat8 – category 8 has its conductors wrapped in foil, allowing higher data rates.
