Cables used in a star bus topology?
Star topology is like the network is done by easily adding another network and the most common cable is used unshielded twisted pair cable. For the star topology purpose, Cat5 and Cat6 cable is used because it is an unshielded and shielded twisted pair cable.
Twisted pair cables?
A type of cable that consists of two independently insulated wires twisted around one another. The use of two wires twisted together helps to reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic induction. While twisted-pair cable is used by older telephone networks and is the least expensive type of local-area network (LAN) cable, most networks contain some twisted-pair cabling at some point along the network. Other types of cables used for LANs include coaxial cables and fiber opticcables.
What are the types of LAN cables and connectors?
UTP unshielded twisted pairSTP shielded twisted pairCoaxial cable a.k.a. CoaxFiber optic cableTwisted pair cables are usually categorized by transmission ability: CAT3 is for phone use, CAT5 is basic computer network, CAT5e and CAT6 are the latest I'm aware of.
What lan stands for?
Local Area Network A data network that does not include routing to remote locations. The most common protocol for wired LAN is currently Ethernet. The most common cabling for wired LAN is currently UTP (unshielded twisted pair) copper.
What is the common term used to describe an 8p8c network cable connector?
The most popular connectors found these days on the ends of network cables are commonly called RJ45 connectors.
What types of cables are used with RJ11 connectors?
RJ45 is a 8 pin connector used on networking(ethernet) cables RJ11 is 6 pin connector used on telephone cables in the USA
Ethernet networks are always connected using twisted-pair cable technology?
No, not at all. That's by far the most common today, but at one time it was much more common to run either "thinnet" or "thicknet", both of which used coaxial cables.
What kinds of cables are used to connect most peripheral devices to computers?
The most common in use today are USB cables.
What is stright throw cable?
A straight-through cable is the opposite of a crossover cable, and is the most common type of network cable.Usually they are just referred to regular CAT-5 cables.
What are thevarious type of commuincation cables?
Ethernet cables are the most common type of communication cable. Other types of communication cables are telephone and DSL cables.
Which network topology is most common in todays network?
Star
What is telephone cable called?
Telephone cables are typically made of copper, although fiber optic cables are also used for long-distance service. Twisted-pair cable is the most common type, but there are also coaxial and optical fiber cables.
