...twisted-pair (STP) cable using either a DB9 connector or a unique square connector called the IBM data connector. Later, Token Ring was adapted to use conventional unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45 connectors. The most common kinds...

...data or optical fiber cable. It provides compatibility with existing 10BASE-T systems and thus enables plug-and-play upgrades from 10BASE-T. Fast Ethernet is sometimes referred to as 100BASE-X where X is a placeholder for the FX and TX variants • ...

...A standard USB cable features two different kinds of connectors. A USB Type A connector plugs into a host device, such as your PC. The USB Type B connector plugs into the peripheral. Having two different types of connectors helps to prevent...

...Gigabit over Category 5 cable has been approved, enabling short stretches of Gigabit speed over existing copper cable. Today, you have many choices when implementing Gigabit Ethernet: • 1000BASE-X • 1000BASE-X refers collectively to the IEEE802.3z s...

...level not protected by cable shielding, and it's possible to monitor these signals outside the secure zone using a radio receiver. Even without a Trojan, a sophisticated receiver located nearby picks up and views what's on the VGA monitor. • What T...

...for multifiber ribbon cable that generally contains 6, 8, 12, or 24 fibers. It is defined by IEC-61754-7 and EIA/TIA-604-5-D, also known as FOCIS 5. The MPO connector, combined with lightweight ribbon cable, represents a huge technological advance...

...long haul. Depending on cable type, FDDI networks can stretch up to 100 km in circumference. And FDDI speed can be improved. If the second ring is used as its own network, both rings can operate individually at speeds as fast as 200 Mbps. • This fea...

...and outlets in your cable conduit. Between the outlets and the patch panel you use Cat5, 6 or 7 cables. Here you need a separate cable for every RJ45 port if you want to go for Gigabit or have at least the chance to do so. Furthermore you have o...
