UTP & COAX cable's are used
copper cable
Fiber optic cabling, Category cabling, and coaxial cabling.
Coxial cable is used from the wall to the modem. From the modem to the computer an RJ-45, or ethernet, cable is used.
what is different between cross cabling and straight cabling ANSWER: a crossover cable is used to connect like devices, like a router to a router, but a straight through cable is used to connect dissimilar devices, like a router to a computer.
it is not UPT ,it is UTP which stands Unshielded Twisted Pair. The UTP is mainly used for network cabling i.e; LAN cabling.
Category-6 (Cat-6) cabling is used as the infrastructure for many types of Ethernet connections. These cables are compatible with earlier versions and can be used for up to 100 meters.
The minimum category cabling for networking is cat 3 cable. That cable will allow you to transmit and receive on a LAN at a maximum of 10 Mbps.
Usually known as 'Fire Resistant Cable' (or FR Cable). There are various specifications depending on where the cabling is to to used, what ducting, etc.
Commonly a FIBER cable will be used to do a vertical cross-connect.
Straight Cable is used to connect a device to a different type of devices Eg: PC to a Switch PC to a Hub Switch to a Router E.t.c. Cross Cable is used to connect a device to a similar type of devices Eg: PC to PC Switch to Switch E.t.c.
Both the coaxial cable and twisted pair cable have a basic connection medium for network cabling. <<>> Coaxial cable can be used for transmission of RF (radio frequencies) whereas Cat 5 (twisted pairs cable) can not.
Rj-45 is the most common type of cabling. RJ-45 refers to the terminator (connector) on the end of the cable, and the jack it plugs into--more specifically RJ-45M and RJ-45F, respectively. The associated cabling will be CAT(category)-5 or CAT-5e(enhanced), which are in the class of Unshielded Twisted Pair. A star network is typified by the hub or switch, with a cable running from it to every device on the network. Other cabling might be used, but CAT-5 is far and away most common.
