The Benefits of Twisted Pair Cabling Brian Pettrie Prof. Ntinglet-Davis CIS175 July 29‚ 2013 Benefits of Twisted Pair Cable The first change I would suggest would be to setup a client/server network in which all 20 computers are connected to the main the computer. In this case‚ we would add another computer to use as the main workstation and central server so we would actually have 21 computers. We could just connect them all with cat 5 cables since there are only 20 clients but if the

Think back to the information listed for Gigabit Ethernet for maximum cabling distances. Which of the answers matches the correct standard with the cabling type and maximum cable length? A. 1000BASE-LX‚ MM fiber‚ 550 meters 5. A campus LAN drawing shows hundreds of user devices cabled to LAN switches on various Floors of a building. The per-floor edge switches have

If it will not‚ what type of cable should be used for the horizontal cabling? Provide detailed specifications for this cable. (10 points) The current horizontal cable will work with the new network. The only issue with the current cabling is there should be no cables laying on the floor. All cables should be secure and not in any walking paths. This

Copper vs Fiber Some advantages of Copper Cabling are Power over Ethernet this gives you the ability to power phones‚ surveillance cameras‚ Wireless Access Points‚ and many other devices right through the networking cable itself. That means that you don’t have to schedule an electrician in to run power to your surveillance cameras to power them. Another advantage is the ability to have an emergency power supply that will continue powering mission critical devices even if your electricity goes

Unit 4: Definitions Horizontal cabling: The cabling between and including the outlets and the horizontal cross-connect. Backbone cabling: The cabling that connects between telecommunications rooms and equipment rooms. Patch cords: Any flexible piece of cable that connects one network device to the main cable run or to a patch panel. Connectors: A device attached to the end of a cable‚ receiver‚ or light source that joins to another cable or device. Conduit: A rigid or flexible metallic or nonmetallic

various layers Note: Shielding protects transmitted data by absorbing stray electronic signals‚ called noise‚ so that they do not get onto the cable and distort the data. Coaxial cable is more resistant to interference and attenuation than twisted-pair cabling. Attenuation is the loss of signal strength that begins to occur as the signal travels farther along a copper cable.

bus (Oliviero and Woodward‚ 2009‚ p. 104). Bus topology is the choice in most LAN topologies. A bus topology is a type of network setup where each computer and network device is connected to a single cable or backbone that typically uses coaxial cabling. The signal travels both ways from one end of the bus to the other. A terminator is needed at both ends of the bus so the signal does not reflect back across the bus or so it does not bounce back and forth across the cable. When data is sent

other with a high speed connection. Recommendation: Install Category 6 UTP 1000Base T Ethernet Cabling. While this may not be the most cost effective solution‚ it will alleviate all of the customers concerns by providing a high speed connection that can handle the voice over I.P. system as well as connect all network switches and reduce the current bottlenecks experienced by the customer. This cabling solution will also allow the network to run at full duplex rather than the current half duplex.
