Type of network cable :

1. Twisted pair cable
2. coaxial cable
3. Fiber Optic

twisted pair cables there are two kinds of, first shielded with a wrapping membrane (STP) Shielded Twisted Pair, second unshielded sheath that does not have a wrapper (UTP) Unshielded Twisted Pair. This cable has the characteristics of a pair of wire-twist on one another in order to reduce electrical interference, can consist of two, three or more wire pairs, can spend up to 10-100 mbps signal, can only handle one data channel (baseband). twisted pair connection using RJ-11 connectors or RJ-45, STP is more resistant to interference than UTP and can operate at higher speeds up to 100 mbps, but it is more difficult to handle physically.

coaxial cable properties as follows, has a wide bandwidth for broadband communications.
kinds of coaxial cable, 10Base5 known, for the installation of backbone Ethernet network between buildings.

thin coaxial better known as RG-58, cheapernet, 10Base2, thinnet, for workstations and network topologies for the ring because BUS and physically manageable.

Fiber-optic communication is a method of transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of light through an optical fiber. The light forms an electromagnetic carrier wave that is modulated to carry information. First developed in the 1970s, fiber-optic communication systems have revolutionized the telecommunications industry and have played a major role in the advent of the Information Age. Because of its advantages over electrical transmission, optical fibers have largely replaced copper wire communications in core networks in the developed world.
