Assalamualaikum...
waaa.... i think its been quite long i have not posting anything :0..This is because the class keep being postponed so, i have nothing to write :(
oK lets proceed to our main topic. So the topic for this week is....

CABLING
What is network cabling?
Cable is the medium through which information
usually moves. In some cases, a network will utilize only one type of cable,
other networks will use a variety of cable types. The type of cable chosen for
a network is related to the network's topology, protocol, and size.
Type of cable
- Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Cable
- Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) Cable
- Coaxial Cable
- Fiber Optic Cable
- Wireless LANs
Unshielded Twisted Pair Cable (UTP)
>> has four pairs of wires inside the jacket.
>> Each pair is twisted with a different number of twists per inch to help eliminate interference from adjacent pairs and other electrical devices.
>>The tighter the twisting, the higher the supported transmission rate and the greater the cost per foot.
>> Each pair is twisted with a different number of twists per inch to help eliminate interference from adjacent pairs and other electrical devices.
>>The tighter the twisting, the higher the supported transmission rate and the greater the cost per foot.
>>Disadvantage: may be susceptible to radio & electrical frequency interference.

UTP Connector
>>The standard connector for UTP = RJ-45
connector.
>> plastic connector that looks like a large telephone-style connector.
>>A slot allows the RJ-45 to be inserted only one way.This standard designates which wire goes with each pin inside the connector.

Shielded Twisted Pair Cable (STP)
>>consist of 2 individual wires.
>>suitable in environments with lots of potential
interference or in extremely sensitive environments that may be susceptible to
the electrical current in the UTP.
>>Shielded cables can also help to extend the
maximum distance of the cables.
>>Shielded twisted pair cable is available in three
different configurations:
- Each pair of wires is individually shielded with foil.
- There is a foil or braid shield inside the jacket covering all wires (as a group).
- There is a shield around each individual pair, as well as around the entire group of wires (referred to as double shield twisted pair).
>>has a
single copper conductor at its center.
>>A plastic layer provides insulation
between the center conductor and a braided metal shield.
>>The metal
shield helps to block any outside interference from fluorescent lights, motors,
and other computers.

| coaxial cable |
Coaxial Cable Connector
>>most common type of connector= Bayone-Neill-Concelman (BNC) connector.
>>Different types of adapters are available for BNC connectors:
Fibre Optic Cable
>> consists of a center glass core surrounded by several layers of protective materials.
>>transmits light rather than electronic signals eliminating the problem of electrical interference.
>>ideal for certain environments that contain a large amount of electrical interference.
>>the standard for connecting networks between buildings, due to its immunity to the effects of moisture and lighting.
>>transmit signals over much longer distances than coaxial and twisted pair.
>>carry information at vastly greater speeds.
>>more difficult to install and modify.
*single mode *Multimode
provide more distance larger diameter
>>Different types of adapters are available for BNC connectors:
- T-connector
- barrel connector
- terminator.

more expensive
#both cables provide high bandwidth at high speeds.
I think that's all from me......TQ

Wireless LANs
>> use high frequency radio signals, infrared light beams, or lasers to communicate between the workstations, servers, or hubs.
>> Each workstation and file server has some sort of transceiver/antenna to send and receive the data.
>> For longer distance, wireless communications can also take place through
cellular telephone technology, microwave transmission, or by satellite.
fuhhh..tired already
