Cable Type

UTP cable
The main article for this section are: Twisted pair
UTP stands for unshielded Twisted Pair. This cable is made of twisted copper constructed. Unshielded Twisted Pair cable consists of 4 pairs of twisted copper wire that was coated (unshield) and insulators. UTP cable is commonly used on computer networks commonly referred to as LAN (Local Area Network). UTP cable properties are able to accommodate the likely short-distance, speed limited and relatively cheap price. Examples of types of UTP cable is a CAT 1, CAT 2, CAT 3, CAT 5, CAT 6.
[edit] Coaxial Cable
The main article for this section are: Coaxial cable
Coaxial cable is a type of cable capable of transmitting messages in the form of data, sound waves, video and multimedia. Coaxial cable consists of conductors (cable core conductor of the data), insulating the inside, and outside insulation. These cables can usually be found on television. Forms of data in the form of television pictures and sound can be a good process by this coaxial cable. Coaxial cable is made of copper. However, what distinguishes the UTP cable is a cable construction and form larger ones. Coaxial cable is the greater, the greater the data transmission capacity that can be done. Coaxial cables of this nature is the ability to accommodate longer distances than UTP, higher speed, and more expensive. Examples of types of coaxial cable is RG - 58 A / U, RG - 6, RG -8.
[edit] Fiber optic
The main article for this section are: Fiber optics
Fiber optics is the type of cable that uses the power of light to transmit data. This cable can process analog signals as well as fiber optics digital.Kabel consists of a cylindrical core and the outer cylinder (cylinder wrapping the core). Lack of fiber optics is the price and installation costs are relatively expensive. Excess optical fiber is capable of transmitting data over long distances, the data capacity of a much larger, forms a relatively small, high speed, not susceptible to interference, and basic materials (glass) that can be updated. Therefore, often referred to as fiber optic cable's future. Examples of fiber optic cables are Fiber Optic Single Mode and Multi Mode Fiber Optic.
[edit] Usage

This data cable operations applied in the use of the Internet, data transmission applications hp - computers, cameras - computers, television, video conferencing, computer application, CCTV, and Facsimile. Use this data cable used to transmit data with a large capacity and relatively long distances.
Unlike ordinary cables, data cable has a function to deliver information and data in the form of sound waves. Data is a form of information that are vulnerable to disruption. If the data ditranmisikan blocked or disorder, the risk of data transmitted to change the meaning and even stopped (error). Another case with the transmission of sound waves that can still be improved with the shift position manually. More waves have a higher flexibility when compared with the static nature of data and systematic. Therefore, to transmit different types of data that needed a special cable data cable.
To accommodate and to support data and sound waves for general wire telephone network still use UTP cable CAT 1. In accordance with the development of the CAT2 UTP cable - CAT 6, then the quality of data transmission are also increasingly baik.Sedangkan on Coaxial cable, a data packet, a wave of sound, video, multimedia to be transmitted. Broadband network that can accommodate various types of data in one [[channel]] is an appropriate use of this Coaxial cable. Coaxial cable application on cable television is one example.
Among the unshielded Twisted Pair cable (UTP) and Coaxial cable can only be used on a LAN (Local Area Network) and a broadband network pengakomodasi course, fiber-optic cable network is able to accommodate the backbone (spine). This looks at the use of fiber optics in the WAN (Wide Area Network). One fiber optic cable applications are in video conferencing technology that requires high speed on long distances.
