2. What is Network Cabling
Network cabling is generally a connectionof computers. A
network administratorhandles connecting two or more
computers safely. Another role of an administratoris to
connect different network cables. Thisway a network can build
securely.
Network Cable Types and Specifications
1. Coaxialcable
2. Optical fiber cable
3. Twisted paircable.
Coaxial cable
These cables utilizedfor the connectionof two or more
desktops. The main componentsof coaxialcable are a
conductor, an insulator,a braiding, and a sheath. All these
componentscover each other in decreasing order. The topmost
layer of coaxial cable is the sheath. The sheath then holdsthe
braiding,conductor, and insulation.Thisis the simple structure
of a coaxial cable.
Optical Fiber Cable
Fiber optic cable containsa different type of objects. It is made
up of core, cladding,buffer, and jacket. All these required for

3. making optical fiber cable. The core used for transmitting the
data over long-distance.
There are two types of fiber optical cable
1. Single-mode fiber
2. Multi-modefiber
Single-mode fiber
Single-mode fiber is more reliable in working. As per its name,
only a single beam of light carried in this cable. This cable
supports the greater bandwidth as well as extensive distances.
Multi-mode fiber
Thisisanothertype of fiber opticcable.SMFismore reliablethan
MMF as this contains many beam of light. But the important
pointwiththiscableisthatit containsa vast amountof datathan
SMF cable. These cables are not used for larger distances while
this works well with a small distance.
Twisted Pair Cable
Computer networks were in need of some cables for
communicationandconnectivity.Thus,these twisted paircables
were introduced. The tested pair cable is also called as an
Ethernet cable. These cables are widely used in any of the
organizations small or large. Even these cables used in home
locations as well.
