    Study Notes

    Cable Types

    • A common copper-based medium for interconnecting network devices is twisted-pair cable, consisting of four pairs of color-coded wires twisted together and encased in a flexible plastic sheath.
    • STP (Shielded Twisted-Pair) cable provides better noise protection than UTP (Unshielded Twisted-Pair) cabling.
    • Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) cable consists of four pairs of color-coded wires twisted together and encased in a flexible plastic sheath, not five pairs.

    Network Interface Card (NIC)

    • The function of a Network Interface Card (NIC) is to connect devices to a network.

    Cable Uses

    • Straight-through cable is used to connect host to switch or router to switch.
    • It is not used to connect routers to switches or hubs.

    Connectors

    • The main function of RJ-45 connectors is to connect devices to a network.
    • RJ-45 connectors are not mainly used to connect routers to switches or hubs.

    STP Cable Features

    • STP cable shields the entire bundle of wires within the cable as well as the individual wire pairs.
    • STP cable provides better noise protection than UTP cabling, but it does not do so at a lower price.
