NETWORK CABLING

In Networking, It is essential to need cables for transmission of data. If there is no transmission of data then there is no need of netwoking.

So, we need cables for data transmission.

TYPES OF CABLES

 

  1. Category-3 Cable: These types of cables generally gives speed of 10 Mb/sec.

   

  2. Category-5 Cables: These types of cables generally gives speed of  1Gb/sec.

  3. Category-6 Cables: These types of cables generally gives speed of 10Gb/sec.

 When we talk about networking cables there is a term comes forward that is Jacks...

    A jack is simply the cable end which helps to connect with the devices.

There' a lot of connectors(or jacks) which are:

  1. USB (Universal Serial Bus): It is generally used to connect the peripherals to the PC such as keyboard, mouse, modem, etc.

• USB 1.1 - It supports data transfer rates of 12 Mbps.
• USB 2.0 - (also known as Hi-Speed USB) It supports data transfer rates of 480 Mbps.  

The USB 2.0 is fully compatible with USB 1.1,  and also there is no difference between there cables and connector

The USB connector comes in two types: Type-A and Type-B.

first one is Type-A and second one is Type-B
