|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Twisted Pair (TP) Properties | -Used for Ethernet and Token Ring networks
-Made of insulated copper wires twisted into pairs (at least 2 pairs)
-Wire is usually #22-#26 AWG (American Wire Gauge)
🗑
|
||||
| Crosstalk | When nearby wires carrying signals interfere with each other due to their electromagnetic energy
🗑
|
||||
| EMI | Electromagnetic Interference
🗑
|
||||
| Wire Twisting | -Wires are twisted to reduce EMI
-Number of twists and interim spacing are specified by industry standards organizations
-Standard commercial-grade communications cable supports 2 twists per 11 inches
-Wires with a greater the number of twists per 11 i
🗑

| UTP | Unshielded Twisted Pair
A type of TP wire that is sheathed in plastic
-Commonly used for telephone and LAN communications
🗑
|
||||
| Category (Cat) 3 UTP -Supported Gauge(s) -Supported Speeds | #24 AWG
1-100Mbps*
*at 100 Mbps network problems can occur from EMI
🗑
|
||||
| Category 5 UTP Category (Cat) 5 UTP -Supported Gauge(s) -Supported Speeds | #24 AWG
1-100 Mbps
-Better insulation and more twists/ft. allow Cat 5 to support 100 Mbps transmissions more reliably
🗑
|
||||
| Category (Cat) 5e & 6 UTP -Supported Speeds | 1-1000 Mbps
-Any new installation of UTP wiring should be done with at least Cat 5e
🗑
|
||||
| Facts about UTP -Cost -Ease of installation -Capacity -Attenuation -EMI resistance | -Relatively low (25-30 cents/ft.)
-Relatively easy
-1-1000 Mbps (10 and 100 Mbps most common)
-Rapid (hundreds of meters)
-Susceptible to EMI
🗑
|
||||
| STP | Shielded Twisted Pair
A wiring standard identical to UTP except for two differences:
-Copper wire pairs are wrapped in foil to shield against EMI
-Uses #22 AWG, a thicker wire that supports longer distances than #24 AWG
🗑
|
||||
| Facts about STP -Cost -Ease of installation -Capacity -Attenuation -EMI resistance | -Moderate cost (20-40 cents/ft)
-Moderate (the shielding foil must be grounded, requiring special connectors)
-16, 155, or 500 Mbps (usually 16)
-100m for 500 Mbps, longer for lower speeds
-Less susceptible than UTP, but not immune
