- UTP cable
Computer networks are now using UTP cable (Unshielded Twisted Pair) with a standard 100 base - TX Fast Ethernet. UTP cable consists of 4 pairs of wires threaded (twistwed Pair Wire) so that the wires were all there are 8 wires. Each pair is given a akawat color code, the first full-color (blue, orange, green or brown) and her partner who had a major screw around with white and
corresponding color strip with partner
There are 2 kinds of cable, ie:
a.Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cable with sheath wrapping
b.Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable without sheath wrapping
Sheath for retaining function (grounding) cable to reduce interference be better than UTP STP.
The main characteristics of twisted pair cable is as follows:
a.Kabel are twisted together to reduce electrical interference.
b.Dapat consists of two, four or more pairs cables.
c.Dapat pass signals up to 10 Mbps.
d.Koneksi using RJ-11 or RJ-45.
f.STP resistant to interference than UTP speeds up to 100 Mbps.
g.Dibutuhkan hub to build a LAN.
h.Lebih easily maintained due to damage to one channel does not interfere with other channels.
