Twisted Pair Cable
Twisted Pair Cable
Two wires individually insulated in plastic, then
twisted around each other and bound together
in another layer of plastic insulation.
The wires are twisted around each other to
minimize interference from other twisted pairs
in the cable.
It was readily available and inexpensive.
Commonly used for telephone and star
topology.
less bandwidth than coaxial cable or fiber
optical cable.

Fiber Optic Cable
Fiber Optic Cable
The size of fiber optic cable is significantly small.
Usually made of glass or plastic, for transmitting
light.
Data is transmitted as pulses of light through
tubes of glass.
A high-capacity cable.
