two types of copper cables?
coaxil and twisted pair
coaxial vable
contains a central conducter wire surronded by an insulating material which is surronded by a braided meal sheild
it is called coaxil because the center wire and braided metel sheild share a centerline
coaxlee sheilds data transmission from interference
early bus topologies used coaxel cable usuing bnc connectors
today it is used a cable modem to connect too an isp which use an F connector the same used for TVS
EXAM TIP Coaxial cabling is also very popular with satellite dishes, overthe-air antennas, and even some home video devices. This book covers
cable and other Internet connectivity options in great detail in Chapter 13,
“Remote Connectivity.”
twisted pair
transmitting or reciving data works in a pair
reduces cross talk
shieldied twisted pair
twisted pair surronded by sheilding
utp
unsheilded twisted pair surropnded by a plastic jacket does not have any protection from interfernece

1Cat 6 cables can use the full 100-meter length when used with 10/100/1000BaseT networks. With 10GBaseT netwo
maximum amount of data that goes through the cable is called
bandwith
EXAM TIP The CompTIA Network+ exam is only interested in your
knowledge of Cat 3, Cat 5, Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat 6a, and Cat 7 cables. Further,
you’ll see the abbreviation for category in all caps, so CAT 5e or CAT 6a.
(In the field you’ll see category represented in both ways.)
bandwith efficent encoding sheme
squuese more bits into the same singal as long as the cable cqn handle it
bandwith efficent encoding sheme

modern day cables use cat 6a or cat 7
