Cat 3
|
|
Standards for Category 3 - 100 ohm twisted-pair copper cable that meets or exceeds specifications in ANSI / TIA / EIA-568-A, Commercial Building Telecommunications Cabling Standard, and ISO /I EC 11801, Generic Cabling for Customer Premises for transmissions up to 16 MHz.
|
| |
Cat 5
|
|
A cabling standard for UTP wiring offering speeds up to 100 MHz and a data transfer rate up to 100 Mbps. This is the most popular UTP wiring standard and most often used in Ethernet networking of 10BaseT or 100BaseT.
|
| |
Cat 6
|
|
Standards for Category 6 - 100 ohm twisted-pair are still under review. Recent developments include work started on the Category 6 cabling specification. Many debates also include the issue of a high-temperature environment for Cat 6 cabling.
|
| |
CCTV / CATV
|
|
Cables used for cable television or close circuit television.
|
| |
Coaxial
|
|
Coaxial cable consists of two cylindrical conductors with a common axis. The two conductors are separated by a dielectric. The outer conductor, normally at ground-potential, acts as a return path for current flowing through the center conductor and prevents energy radiation from the cable. The outer conductor, or shield, is also commonly used to prevent external radiation from affecting the current flowing in the inner conductor. The outer shield or conductor consists of woven strands of wire or is a metal sheath.
|
| |
Fiber Optic
|
|
Fiber optic cable offers up the possibility of near infinite bandwidth and perfect immunity to noise. The trade-off is cost and difficulty of installation. It costs significantly more to purchase fiber optic cable, connectors, patch panels, jumper cables, tools, and network interface cards (NICs).
|
| |
Flat Ribbon
|
|
Flat ribbon cables are typically used in computers for internal connections to peripherals.
|
| |
General Purpose
|
|
Cables or wires used for general applications.
|
| |
Multi-Signal/Composite
|
|
Cables used for multi signal applications.
|

PLTC
|
|
Power Limited Tray Cables (PLTC).
|
| |
RG6/11
|
|
This is an inexpensive, quarter-inch diameter unbalanced coaxial cable consisting of a central metallic core surrounded by a layer of insulating material. This insulating (dielectric) material may be a solid material or air spaced. The entire assembly is covered with a metallic sleeve and protected by an outer layer of non-conducting material (cable jacket). RG6 is typically used in cable TV or satellite applications. RG11 is the cable type used with thicknet (thick Ethernet) cabling.
|
| |
Triaxial
|
|
Triaxial cables refer to a three-conductor cable with one conductor in the center. A second circular conductor shield shares a common center with the first. There is a third circular conductor shield that is insulated from and is concentric with the first and second. Concentricity is usually with insulation, a braid, or impervious sheath overall.
|
| |
Type 1
|
|
Type 1 is a specification and standard for networking cable, usually used in Token Ring networks.
|
| |
Twisted Pair
|
|
A twisted pair is two wires twisted together to reduce susceptibility to RF noise. Two insulated copper conductors are wound around each other to cancel the effects of electrical noise. Twisted pairs are used as a popular and low-cost LAN cabling method that is also commonly used for telephone wiring. This method uses tow wires twisted together to minimize electrical interference. (See STP and UTP).

Serial / RS-232/422/485
|
|
This is the most common transmission mode. Serial technology transmits data one bit at a time. Information bits are sent sequentially on a single data channel. Serial protocols include RS-232, RS-422, RS-485 and others.
|
| |
USB
|
|
Universal serial bus (USB) is a 4-wire, 12-Mbps serial bus for low-to-medium speed peripheral device connections to personal computers (PC), including keyboards, mice, modems, printers, joysticks, audio functions, monitor controls, etc. The USB design is standardized by the USB Implementers Forum (USBIF), an organization that includes leading companies from the computer and electronics industries. The current USB specification is USB 2.0, which supports data transfer rates of up to 480 Mbps.

LAN / Ethernet
|
|
Ethernet is a local area network (LAN) protocol that uses a bus or star typology and supports data transfer rates of 10 Mbps. The Ethernet specification is the basis for the IEEE 802.3 standard, which specifies the physical and lower software layers. To handle simultaneous demands, Ethernet uses carrier sense multiple access / collision detection (CSMA/CD) to monitor network traffic.
|
| |
Parallel
|
|
Parallel interfaces simultaneously transmit multiple bits of data over separate lines (e.g., eight bits over eight lines). They are usually unidirectional.
|
| |
Gigabit Ethernet
|
|
Gigabit Ethernet is a type of Ethernet protocol (standard 802.3z) that supports data transfer rate of 1 gigabit per second.
|
| |
GPIB (IEEE 488, HPIB)
|
|
The general-purpose interface bus (GPIB) is designed to connect computers, peripherals and laboratory instruments so that data and control information can pass between them. It was originally developed by Hewlett Packard (HP) and called the HPIB bus. GPIB is also know as the IEEE 488 bus, and is electrically equivalent to the IEC 625 bus.

IEEE 1394 (FireWire®)
|
|
IEEE 1394 or FireWire® is an interface standard adopted by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) for very fast digital data transfers such as streaming video. IEEE 1394 connectors are used to transmit and receive data among FireWire devices. They are designed to replace external high-speed peripheral connections to personal computers, including hard disks, CD-ROMs, DVDs, graphics cards, high-speed scanners, direct video, monitors, etc. Tiny, robust FireWire connectors will also become important parts of home entertainment, communication, and appliance networks. FireWire is a registered trademark of Apple Computer, Inc.
