    Study Notes

    • Copper cabling is the foundation of Ethernet networks, used for home and business networks.
    • Twisted pair Ethernet cables have four pairs of wires, each transmitting equal and opposite signals to reduce interference.
    • Different pairs have different twist rates for signal reconstruction.
    • Different categories of twisted pair cables, such as 5e, 6, 6A, 7, and 8, support various Ethernet standards and distances.
    • Coaxial cables, consisting of a single wire conductor, are used for cable modem connectivity and television.
    • Twinax cable, with two separate conductors, is used for 10 gigabit Ethernet over copper with SFP transceivers and has a limited distance.
    • International ISO/IEC 11801 and TIA/ANSI standards dictate how to install and use twisted pair and copper cable connections.
    • T568A and T568B standards dictate cable color assignments for Ethernet connections, with some differences in pair color assignments.
    • Using the same standard on both ends of the cable is important to ensure proper functioning.
    • T568A and T568B standards are not related to Ethernet crossover cables, which have different color assignments defined in the IEEE 802.3 standard.
    • The text provides colors for T568A and T568B standards and suggests looking closely at the wires' colors on an Ethernet cable to determine its standard.
