                      COMPUTER NETWORK (WIRED NETWORK TECHNOLOGY)

Different types of network cables like Coaxial Cable, Optical Fiber Cable, Twisted Pair Cables are used depending on the network's requirement.

NOW LET DISCUSS ABOUT THIS CABLE ONE BY ONE-

TWISTED PAIR CABLES

The twisted pair cable used for networking is of two types: shielded and unshielded .

An Ethernet cable is a type of twisted pair. It is used to connect two network devices directly, the device can be a computer, switch etc.

Shielded twisted pair (STP)

Unshielded twisted pair (UTP)

ADVANTAGES

1. Provides high data transfer speeds and are not very expensive.

2. Less power consumption.

3. Simple to install.

DISADVANTAGES

1. Ethernet cables are difficult to troubleshoot (diagnose the fault).

2. Ethernet card must be present inside the computer for connecting Ethernet cables.
