STP CAT5e STP uses a covering around the pairs of wires inside the cable that protects it from electromagnetic interference caused by electrical motors, transmitters, or high tension lines. It is more expensive than UTP cabling so it's only used when the situation demands it.

Which is more expensive utp cat5e or stp cat5e?

UTP is unshielded. Cheaper. STP is shielded.. more expensive.


What would be the best cable to use if you are installing GigaBit Ethernet?

A cat5e should work up to 1 gig. Cat6 is optimal but more expensive and harder to wire.


What type of cabling is rarely seen in networking implementations?

Fiber optic cabling is rarely seen in typical networking implementations for small to medium-sized businesses due to its higher cost and complexity compared to more common options like Ethernet cabling (e.g., Cat5e, Cat6). While fiber optics provides superior speed and bandwidth over long distances, many organizations opt for copper cabling for ease of installation and maintenance. However, fiber is increasingly used in data centers and high-performance environments where speed and distance are critical.


Can a NIC be used for more than one type of cabling?

Yes, there are Many kinds of NICs capable of using multiple cabling a 10/100 NIC is a NIC that can use both 10BaseT Cabling and 100Base Cabling


What are the main differences between Cat7 and Cat5e cables, and which one would be more suitable for my networking needs?

Cat7 cables are newer and offer higher performance with faster speeds and better shielding against interference compared to Cat5e cables. Cat7 cables are more suitable for high-speed networking needs, such as gaming, streaming, and large file transfers. Cat5e cables are more budget-friendly and suitable for basic networking needs with lower data transfer requirements. Choose Cat7 for higher performance and Cat5e for more cost-effective solutions.


Which is not the characteristic of UTP cabling?

One characteristic that is not associated with UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cabling is the presence of shielding or foil to reduce electromagnetic interference. UTP cabling relies solely on the twisting of the pairs of wires to minimize crosstalk and interference, making it lighter and more flexible than shielded cables. Additionally, UTP is generally less expensive than shielded alternatives, further distinguishing its characteristics.


Can you describe fiber optic cable?

An optical fiber cable is a cable containing one or more optical fibers. The optical fiber elements are typically individually coated with plastic layers and contained in a protective tube suitable for the environment where the cable will be deployed.


Which categories of UTP cabling can be used in Gigabit Ethernet networks?

According to the Certblaster 2009 Comptia A+ CD practice exam the answer is Cat 6 cablingCat5E can also be used and is in use more than the expensive and hard to work with CAT6.


Which cabling scheme is more common straight through or crossover?

straight throught


What cabling consists of one or more insulated wire pairs encased in a plastic sheath?

That question is very vague. It could refer to varieties of power, telephone and computer network cabling. If you are referring to computer networking this is usually called UTP (unshielded twisted pair) cabling.


What is one advantage of using fiber optic cabling rather than copper cabling?

Fiber optics carry vastly more information than ordinary cables, for a given thickness of cable.
