Twisted pair cable consists
of two insulated cupper wires
twisted together. It
is used in telephone line for voice and
data communications. Coaxial cable
has the following layers:
a metallic rod-shaped
inner conductor,
an insulator covering the
rod, a metallic outer conductor (shield), an
insulator covering the shield, and a plastic cover.Coaxial
cable
can carry signals of higher
frequency ranges than twisted-pair cable. Coaxial cable
is used in cable TV networks and
Ethernet LANs.Fiber-optic cables are composed of a glass
or plastic inner core surrounded by cladding,
all
encased in an outer jacket.Fiber-optic cables
carry data
signals in
the
form of light. The signal is
propagated along the
inner core by
reflection. Its
features
are
noise resistance,
low attenuation,
and high bandwidth capabilities. It
is used in backbone networks,
cable TV nerworks, and
fast Ethernet networks.
