INTRODUCTION
This lesson is designed to give you the understanding of the networking devices,
media and connectors. At the end of this lesson you should be able to identify and obtain
necessary network materials in accordance with established procedures and check against
system requirements.
WHAT TO KNOW
To make data transmission more extensible and efficient than a simple peer-to-peer
network, network designers use specialized network devices such as hubs, switches,
routers, and wireless access points to send data between devices.
Hub/Switch/Router
Dial-up Services
• Modem
– Modulator/demodulator
– A device that converts analog signal to digital (modulation) and vice versa
(demodulation)
• ISDN
– Integrated Services Digital Network
– 2 data channels (56K each)
– 1 voice channel
• Cable
– A technology that provides digital data transmission over cable TV infrastructure
• Satellite
– A technology that provides digital data transmission over satellites
Twisted Pair
Twisted pair is a type of copper cabling that is
used for telephone communications and most Ethernet
networks. A pair of wires forms a circuit that transmits
data. The pair is twisted to provide protection against
crosstalk, the noise generated by adjacent pairs of wires
in the cable. Pairs of copper wires are encased in color-
coded plastic insulation and are twisted together. An outer
jacket protects the bundles of twisted pairs.
• Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) is the cable that has two or four pairs of wires. This type
of cable relies solely on the cancellation effect produced by the twisted-wire pairs that
limits signal degradation caused by electromagnetic interface (EMI) and radio
frequency interference (RFI). UTP is the most commonly used cabling in networks.
UTP cables have a range of 328 feet (100 m).
• With shielded twisted pair (STP), each pair of wire is wrapped in metallic foil to better
shield the wires from noise. Four pairs of wires are then wrapped in an overall metallic
braid or foil. STP reduces electrical noise from within the cable. It also reduces EMI
and RFI from outside the cable. Although STP prevents interference better than UTP,
STP is more expensive because of the extra shielding. It is also more difficult to install
because of the thickness. In addition, the metallic shielding must be grounded at both
ends. If it is improperly grounded, the shield acts like an antenna, picking up unwanted
signals.
Category Rating
UTP comes in several categories that are based on two factors:
• The number of wires in the cable
• The number of twists in those wires
Type Use
Category 1 Voice only (Telephone Wire)
Category 2 Data to 4 Mbps (Local Talk)
Category 3 Data to 10 Mbps (Ethernet)
Category 4 Data to 20 Mbps ( token Ring)
Category 5 Data to 100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet)
1. Category 3 is the wiring used for telephone systems and Ethernet LAN at 10
Megabyte per second (Mbps).
2. Category 3 has four pairs of wires.
3. Category 5 and Category 5e have four pairs of wires with a transmission rate of
100 Mbps.
4. Category 5 and Category 5e is the most common network cables used.
5. Category 5e has more twists per foot than Category 5 wiring.
These extra twists further prevent interference from outside sources and from
the other wires within the cable.
Some Category 6 cables use a plastic divider to separate the pairs of wires,
which prevents interference. The pairs also have more twists than Category 5e

cable.
Coaxial Cable
Fiber-Optic Cable
An optical fiber is a glass or plastic conductor that transmits information using light.
Fiber optic cable has one or more optical fibers enclosed in a sheath or jacket. Because it is
made of glass, fiber-optic cable is not affected by EMI or RFI. All signals are converted to
light pulses to enter the cable and are converted back into electrical signals when they leave
it.
Fiber-optic cable can reach distances of several miles or kilometers before the signal
needs to be regenerated. Fiber-optic cable usually is more expensive to use than copper
cable, and the connectors are more costly and harder to assemble. Common connectors for
fiber-optic networks are SC, ST, and LC. These three types of fiber-optic connectors are
half-duplex, which allows data to flow in only one direction. Therefore, two cables are
needed.
• Multimode is the cable that has a thicker core than single-mode cable. It is easier to
make, can use simpler light sources such as Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs), and
works well over distances of a few kilometers or less.
• Single-mode is the cable that has a very thin core. It is harder to make, uses lasers
as a light source, and can transmit signals dozens of kilometers with ease.
