    Study Notes

    Network Cables

    • Twisted-pair cables are commonly used by ISPs to provide network connectivity to residential customers.
    • The primary reason for twisting wires in twisted-pair cables is to reduce electromagnetic interference.
    • Category 5e (Cat5e) UTP cable is the most commonly used in modern networks, and it can support speeds of up to 1Gbps.
    • RJ-45 connectors are commonly used for Ethernet cables.
    • Fiber optic cables transmit data using light signals through thin glass or plastic strands.

    Cable Types and Uses

    • Straight-through cables are used to connect devices of different types, such as PC to switch.
    • Cross-over cables are primarily used to connect devices of the same type, such as switch to switch.
    • Roll-over cables are used for establishing console connections to the management interface of devices, such as routers and switches.

    Ethernet Cable Termination

    • T568A and T568B are the two most common standards used for Ethernet cable termination, with T568B being used more often in homes and workplaces.

    Fiber Optic Cables

    • The primary advantage of using fiber optic cables in high-bandwidth networks is their high speed and resistance to electromagnetic interference.

    Network Documentation

    • The primary purpose of labeling cables and maintaining documentation in a network is to ensure easy identification and troubleshooting of cables.

    OSI Model

    • The physical layer (Layer 1) of the OSI model relates to physical cabling.

    Week 3 Focus

    • The main focus of Week 3 is on Network Cables, including creating Cat5e straight-through and cross-over cables.
    • The practical skill students should have after this lecture is the ability to create and identify different types of network cables.
