Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
The wire that is twisted together protects against EMI ( Electromagnetic Interference)
UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pairs) Cables
UTP Cables that has 2 pairs (4 wires)
- 10BASE-T
- 100BASE-T
UTP Cables that has 4 pairs (8 wires)
- 1000BASE-T
- 10GBASE-T
both devices send data at the same time, and no problems like collisions will occur since they use separate wires to transmit and receive data
Full-duplex transmission
allows devices to automatically detect which pins their neighbor is transmitting data on and then adjust which pins they use to transmit and receive data.
Auto MDI-X
used on switches that don’t support fiber optic connections to allow such connections
SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) Transciever
This type of cable allows longer cables that UTP but shorter than single mode.
Multi Mode Fiber
Light enters at a single angle from a laser based transciever
Single Mode Fiber
