2.1 Given a scenario, deploy the appropriate cabling solution. Flashcards
• UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
- The most common twisted pair cabling
* No additional shielding
• STP (Shielded Twisted Pair)
- Additional shielding protects against interference
- Shield each pair and/or the overall cable
- Requires the cable to be grounded

Network cabling standards
- Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA)
* Develops standards for the industry
• Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA)
- Standards, market analysis, government affairs, etc.
* ANSI/TIA/EIA-568 - Commercial Building
Plenum space
- Building air circulation - Heating and air conditioning system
- Concerns in the case of a fire - Smoke and toxic fumes
Plenum-rated cable
- Traditional cable jacket
* Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
• Fire-rated cable jacket
• Fluorinated ethylene polymer (FEP) or
low-smoke polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
• Plenum-rated cable may not be as flexible- • May not have the same bend radius
Coaxial cables
- Two or more forms share a common axis
- RG-6 used in television/digital cable
- Not designed for long distances
