Cable and Connectors Used For Transmission of Data

Image
A transmission medium is required to carry every type of information that travels from source to destination. Cables and connectors are used for transmitting data along a channel. A structured cabling system is the foundation of every business network. Cabling provides connectivity between servers, computers, and other network devices. Hence cables and connectors are part and parcel of each other. Transmission media used can be wired or wireless. In wired transmission, cables are used for transferring signals whereas in wireless transmission, electromagnetic waves are used to transmit data from one device to another. There are three types of cables used in wired transmission namely twisted pair cables, coaxial cables and fiber optic cables. Twisted pair cables are used for transmitting data in small areas. These cables are further divided into two types. Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) and Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP). RJ45 connector is used for connecting UTP cables. UTP is furth...

Fiber Optic Cables Vs Ethernet Cables: What Is the Difference?

Wi-Fi is like love. Always in the air and ready to connect you with the fascinating digital world. But ever wondered what keeps it in the air? Well, just like any relationship has a foundation of understanding, a wireless network has a fiber cabling underneath that helps people to connect with the internet anytime they want to. The other most popularly used cable type is Ethernet cables. They are used everywhere right from IP camera technologies to LED lighting. These cables are quite cheaper as compared to fiber cables; but when one wants to have a huge and powerful network cable , fiber cables become necessary. Both the cables have their advantages and disadvantages, specialties, and limitations. Through this blog, we will differentiate between the two and try to understand both in details: History of Fiber & Ethernet Cables The fiber optic technology was first used in 1969 when NASA sent it to the moon for use in television cameras. And a company named Xerox developed Eth...

Everything You Need to Know About Ethernet Cables

Network cables have been in the development since the Second World War. Specialized advance over the most recent 40 years has made Ethernet Cables a pervasive piece of our lives. It has turned into the most well-known medium for move of information in our general public. It has additionally adequately accomplished a perfect stage meeting the desires of its unique makers. The Ethernet cables are generally the last thing, which gets attention while setting up a wired internet network. However, they play a major role in network speed and accuracy along with its stability depending on the type of the cable. Looking at the history of Ethernet Cables, we can witness its evolution over the years. It has roughly grown by a factor of 10. It has grown from 10 megabytes (M) to 100M, and later from 1 gigabit (G) to 10G. Today, some data centers work at 40G and at times, it goes beyond 100G. However, in the past few years, the progress of  Ethernet cables  has been under diversificat...
