🗑
RG-8   10GBase5 - This cable has a resistance rating of 50 ohms and is also called Thicknet.  
🗑
RG-6   This cable has a resistance rating of 75 ohms, is good in networking applications and is especially good where long distances are involved.  
🗑
RG-59   This cable has a resistance rating of 75 ohms and is used for cable TV and cable networking.  
🗑

The core of this cable is made of plastic or glass   Fiber Optic Cable  
🗑
What helps maintain the signal in the bend of a fiber optic cable?   The cladding is used to maintain the signal in the center of this cable.  
🗑
Advantages of fiber optic cable   This cable is immune to EMI, highly resistant to eavesdropping, allows greater cable distance without a repeater and supports extremely high data transmission rates.  
🗑
Disadvantages of fiber optic cable   The cable is very expensive, difficult to work with and requires special training to attach connectors and cables.  
🗑
Single Mode Fiber   This mode transfers data through the core of the cable using a single light ray and supports large amounts of data at great distances.

🗑
Multi-mode fiber   This cable is 50 to 100 microns in diameter  
🗑
ST Connector   This cable uses a keyed bayonet type connector and is also called a push in and twist connector. As part of the assembly, it is also necessary to polish the exposed end of the fiber tip to ensure that light is passed on from one cable to another.  
🗑
SC Connector   This nickel plated cable connector uses push on, pull off connector and a ceramic ferrule to insure proper core alignment and prevent light ray deflection.  
🗑
LC Connector   This cable connector uses single connector with two ends and is plastic with a locking tab similar to an RJ-45 connector and a ceramic ferrule to insure proper core alignment and prevent light ray deflection.  
🗑
MT-RJ Connector   This cable connector uses a single connector with one end to hold both cables and uses a plastic connector with a locking tab and metal guide pins to ensure it is properly aligned.  
🗑
UTP Pin 1 & Pin 2   In a UTP cable, these two pins are used to transmit (Tx).  
🗑
UTP Pin 3 & Pin 6   In a UTP cable, these two pins are used to transmit (Rx).  
🗑
T568A wire arrangement   This UTP cabling standard arranges the pins in the order GW, G, OW, BL, BW, O, BrW, Br  
🗑
T568B wire arrangement   This UTP cabling standard arranges the pins in the order OW, O, GW, B, BW, G, BrW, Br  
🗑
Crossover Cable   A cable using the T568A standard on one end and T568B on the other end.  
🗑

🗑
IDF   This is a smaller wiring distribution point within a building typically located on each floor about the MDF.  
🗑
Demarc Extension   This typically consists of a single wire bundle that attaches to the existing demarc and supplies a termination point to a different location.  
🗑
