Types of Cables for Networks

What are the categories of Twisted Pair Cable?

• Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) and Shielded Twisted Pair (STP)

• Coaxial and Fiber Optic

• HDMI and Ethernet

Coaxial Cable is commonly used for:

• Cable television, broadband internet, and older networking systems.

• Wireless communication.

• Satellite communication.

• Optical fiber connections.

What is the function of Fiber Optic Cable?

• Transmits electrical signals

• Transmits data over long distances at high speeds with minimal signal loss

• Transmits high-quality video, audio, and data

HDMI Cable is used for connecting devices like _________.

• Televisions, computers, and gaming consoles.

• Refrigerators, microwaves, and ovens.

• Washing machines, dryers, and dishwashers.

• Toasters, blenders, and mixers.

What is the maximum data transmission speed for Twisted Pair (UTP) cables?

Which type of cable can transmit data up to 40 kilometers?

Fill in the blank: Coaxial Cable has a ______ resistance to interference.

• high

• low

• medium

• no

What is a disadvantage of Fiber Optic Cable?

Which cable type is primarily designed for multimedia, not dedicated for networking tasks?

Twisted pair cables reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) by:

• using shielding to block interference

• twisting the wires to cancel out EMI

• increasing the cable thickness

• using fiber optics instead
