WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF CABLE?

WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF CABLE?+


Cables are classified into 5 types depending upon their purpose as follows:

  • Ribbon Electric Cables

    It consists of multiple insulated wires running parallel with one another and are used for transmission of multiple data simultaneously. For example, this is used to connect the CPU with the motherboard and are generally used for interconnection of networking devices.






  • Shielded Cables

    It consists of 1 or 2 insulated wires which are covered by a woven braided shield or aluminium Mylar foil for better signal transmission and removing irregularities in the frequency of power and external interference in radio. These cables transmit high voltage electric current and are protected by a shield.










  • Twisted Pair Cables

    It has two or more insulated copper wires which are twisted with each other and are colour-coded. These types of wires are usually used in telephone cables and the resistance to external interference can be measured by the number of wires.






  • Coaxial Cables

    This consists of solid copper or steel conductor plated with copper which is enclosed in the metallic braid and metallic tape. This is entirely covered with an insulated protective outer jacket. These type of cables are used for computer networking and audio-video networking.








  • Fibre Optics Cable

    There are these types of cables which transport optical data signals from an attached light source to the receiving device. We are pretty much aware of what is optical fibre and its uses in a wide variety of applications.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT NETWORKING DEVICES?

What are the different networking devices? 1.Firewall -  A firewall is a network security  device that monitors incoming and outgoing network traffic and permits or blocks data packets  based on a set of security rules. Its purpose is to establish a barrier between your internal network and incoming traffic from external sources (such as the internet) in order to block malicious traffic like viruses and hackers. 2. Hub  –  A hub is basically a multiport repeater. A hub connects multiple wires coming from different branches, for example, the connector in star topology which connects different stations. Hubs cannot filter data, so data packets are sent to all connected devices.  In other words, collision domain of all hosts connected through Hub remains one.  Also, they do not have intelligence to find out best path for data packets which leads to inefficiencies and wastage. Types of Hub Active Hub:-  These are the hubs...
