The Different Types Of Cabling

By Toni Vang


Cabling is a system which involves the installation of cables for efficient and automatic transfer of network information. The cables are used for Local Area Network or LAN. Different kinds of cable like UTPs, STPs, WLANs, Coaxial, and Fiber Optics can be used to access the LAN. These can be installed individually or combined with one another depending on the network requirements.

STPs are more expensive compared to UTPs but the latter is more preventive of signal and electronic interferences. Installation and cabling Austin, TX service can be contacted anytime of the day if they are needed. STPs are among the most popular cables for installation even it is a little bit expensive.

WLAN or Wireless Local Area Network, by the name itself, does not need any cable for connection. There are high frequency radio signals and lasers, which is what this innovation uses. It is widely used in school networks and in work stations because it is the most convenient. Once installed with WiFi, it will be very easy to connect devices to LAN. Such devices include laptops and smart phones.

Fiber Optics, can transmit signals in very long distances. And can carry transmit data at greater speed. This is very complicated to install and it needs complex modifications in order be used. But once installed, it is capable of interactive video and communication conferencing because of its speed. In addition, the signal it carries is as complex as Ethernet.

WLAN uses connectivity that does not require cables. It merely uses radio signals that are of high frequency as well as lasers. This is what powers the internet that is used mostly in work stations and offices. These can connect gadgets and devices like tablets, laptops, and smart phones or mobile phones to the local area network. This is very convenient and can reach a certain distance.

Coaxial cables contain a copper conductor. Copper is known to be a conductor of electricity and can detect signals. This is, however, very complicated to install. But this is one of the known types of wire networks that resist signal interference. It can be combined with twisted pair cables like UTPs and STPs. In addition, this cable can either be thin or thick.

The installation of any of these types has to be done based on the guidelines to ensure efficiency. It is advisable that the cables are extra long. Installers must be three feet away from electronic devices to avoid interferences of signals. These sources of electrical interference may disrupt configuration processes. Moreover, it may delay the installation process as well.

Before even deciding to install, installers check the network. If there are errors, it is possible that there is something wrong about the network. Hence, connection may not be as flawless as desired. Wires need covers which serve as protectors. This will help prevent interferences that makes the connection really slow. This is such a hassle in organisations or workplaces since limited to no access will affect their business.

Both ends of the cable must be labeled to avoid confusion regarding where the other one must be installed. They must also be tied instead of using tapes since these are not reliable support. This will avoid people from tripping over the excess lines and wires.
