Networking cables connect devices such as the telephone, computer, printer, scanner or television in a network. There are different types of cables, and using the right type of network cable, ensures that your devices are sending and receiving the information as it is expected.
Different cables are used in different applications, and although there are advantages that are available when wholesale networking cables are bought, they must be used in the appropriate situations to obtain proper results. The common type of cable used in the home is the Category 5e or CAT 5e cable. The twisted-pair cable normally consists of 4 pairs of wires that are wrapped together in a single jacket. Also commonly known as Ethernet cables, when connected in computer networks, they are capable of transmitting signals at speeds of up to 1000 Mbps.
You can also buy wholesale networking cables in the form of coaxial cables. These are used in the connection of television and video. Coax cables are very heavily insulated and provide protection from interference, where low powered signals can be transmitted over longer distances. A coax cable consists of a copper wire that is heavily covered with non-conducting insulation material, that is surrounded by a metal sheath. The entire unit is then wrapped in protective plastic. Wholesale networking cables can also be bought in the form of fiber optic cables. These are excellent conductors, that can be used to transmit a large amount of data such as video and audio at exceeding fast speeds. They are perhaps the best combination for speed and quality in delivering signals, and offer several advantages over other types of cable.
- With fiber optics, there is less loss if signal, and higher quality transmission.
- Fiber optic cables are able to transmit multiple signals simultaneously, at higher speeds than utp cables.
- Fiber optic cables also offer higher protection to interference or electrical noises.
- They can be used in effective transmission of telephone or television signals.
- For high quality signals that must be sent over longer distances, the best option would be to use fiber optical cable, while Ethernet cables can be used in computer or telephone networks.
