  2. Twisted pair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twisted_pair

    A twisted pair can be used as a balanced line, which as part of a balanced circuit can greatly reduce the effect of noise currents induced on the line by coupling of electric or magnetic fields. The idea is that the currents induced in each of the two wires are very nearly equal. The twisting ensures that the two wires are on average the same ...

  3. Category 4 cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_4_cable

    Category 4 cable. Category 4 cable (Cat 4) is a cable that consists of eight copper wires arranged in four unshielded twisted pairs (UTP) supporting signals up to 20 MHz. [1] It is used in telephone networks which can transmit voice and data up to 16 Mbit /s. [2] For a brief period it was used for some Token Ring, [3] 10BASE-T, and 100BASE-T4 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet

    Ethernet (/ ˈiːθərnɛt / EE-thər-net) is a family of wired computer networking technologies commonly used in local area networks (LAN), metropolitan area networks (MAN) and wide area networks (WAN). [1] It was commercially introduced in 1980 and first standardized in 1983 as IEEE 802.3. Ethernet has since been refined to support higher bit ...

  6. Networking cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Networking_cable

    Networking cable is a piece of networking hardware used to connect one network device to other network devices or to connect two or more computers to share devices such as printers or scanners. Different types of network cables, such as coaxial cable, optical fiber cable, and twisted pair cables, are used depending on the network's topology ...

  7. Category 6 cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_6_cable

    Category 6 cable (Cat 6) is a standardized twisted pair cable for Ethernet and other network physical layers that is backward compatible with the Category 5/5e and Category 3 cable standards. Cat 6 must meet more stringent specifications for crosstalk and system noise than Cat 5 and Cat 5e. The cable standard specifies performance of up to 250 ...

  8. Category 3 cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_3_cable

    Category 3 cable, commonly known as Cat 3 or station wire, and less commonly known as VG or voice-grade[1] (as, for example, in 100BaseVG), is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable used in telephone wiring. It is part of a family of standards defined jointly by the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) and the Telecommunications Industry ...

  9. Gigabit Ethernet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigabit_Ethernet

    For the camera protocol, see GigE vision. Intel PRO/1000 GT PCI network interface controller. In computer networking, Gigabit Ethernet (GbE or 1 GigE) is the term applied to transmitting Ethernet frames at a rate of a gigabit per second. The most popular variant, 1000BASE-T, is defined by the IEEE 802.3ab standard.
