Get To Know The Different Types Of Network Cabling

By Jocelyn Davidson


Wiring devices so that they would share one network is a common set up in an office or even in your own home. You may not know it but the connections of all your devices from your personal computer to your printer are harmonized in one network so that you would not need any others. There are different cables for different purposes. There is one that could connect your devices to the internet. The other is for connecting the printer to your fax machine.

There are only a few people from where you are standing who knows how this whole process works. You do not know it but you are also using it and sometimes it is you who connect the wires in to something. Network cabling Long Island and homes or offices in other places is just common. It is the term used that is not.

There are certain drawbacks to studying network cabling. For one, it is very complicated which, for some people, makes it very uninteresting. You might be confused of the different colors of the wire but it is not just there for show. The different hues will tell the technician for what purpose the wire should be connected. There are also several types of network cabling methods that vary according to how it should be connected and the capacity of the wire.

There is one type which is call the twisted pair wiring. It has to sub categories which are the shielded type and the unshielded. There are two wires which are entwined to block whatever electromagnetic interference there is. The source of the interference can be from another network.

If you want to have a wire that has the ability to connect to devices from long ranges and you do not want to have slow data transmission, the most recommended is the optical fiber cable. This is a specialized kind that can come with a price. But you can also be sure that it is safe from interference of any sort.

The type of cable that is often used for television wiring are the coaxial cables. It is very easy to install and has a high bandwidth than the previous types. It is also known to be used to connect long distance calls.

The shorter cords that you usually see connected from your printer to your scanner or from your computer to other devices are known as patch cords. These are cables for routing signals to other devices. And the interesting thing is that it comes in different colors.
