Question
Answer
show -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   show
🗑
show Electromagnetic Interference  
🗑
Wire Twisting   show
🗑
UTP   show
🗑
Category (Cat) 3 UTP -Supported Gauge(s) -Supported Speeds   show
🗑
show #24 AWG 1-100 Mbps -Better insulation and more twists/ft. allow Cat 5 to support 100 Mbps transmissions more reliably  
🗑
show 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   show
🗑
STP   show
🗑
show -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  
🗑
Token Ring Type 1 Cable -Wire type -Number of twisted pairs -STP/UTP -Supported speeds   show
🗑
Token Ring Type 2 Cable -Wire type -Number of twisted pairs -STP/UTP   show
🗑
show #24 AWG 4 UTP 4 Mbps, sometimes 16 Mbps  
🗑
Token Ring Type 6 Cable -Wire type -Number of twisted pairs -STP/UTP -Supported speeds -Recommended use   show
🗑
show 1: Transmit + 2: Transmit - 3: Receive + 4: Not used 5: Not used 6: Receive - 7: Not used 8: Not used  
🗑
show 1: Not used 2: Ground 3: Transmit + 4: Receive + 5: Receive - 6: Recovery 7: Ground 8: Not used (set aside for future offerings)  
🗑
show A 8-pin modular plug that is used to terminate UTP and STP cable. -It is used for many different applications. -Make sure that you know what is being transmitted on a cable before plugging it in. Some applications of RJ-45 and UTP might damage hardware  
🗑
DB-9 Pinout   show
🗑
show 1: Transmit - 2: Transmit + 3: Receive - 4: Receive + When there is no connection, Pins 1 and 2 ground to pins 3 and 4, respectively, creating a current loop. Each connector is hermaphroditic  
🗑
Hermaphroditic   show
🗑
show 1: Transmit + 2: Receive + 3: Receive - 4: Transmit -  
🗑
show 1: Transmit + 2: Receive + 3: Receive - 4: Transmit -  
🗑
