Cables & Optic Fibre
Straight Cable
-
Wire comes in bundles or as flat "ribbon" cables and is used to connect various peripheral devices over short distances
-
Cables for internal disk drives are typically flat cables with multiple transmission wires running in parallel
Coaxial Cable
This cable consists of a solid copper core surrounded by an insulator, a combination shield and ground wire, and an outer protective jacket
Twisted Pair Cable
Two wires are twisted together to form a pair, and the pair forms a balanced circuit
The twisting protects against EMI (electromagnetic interference) and RFI (radio frequency interference)
-
A typical cable has multiple twisted pairs, each color-coded to differentiate it from other pairs
Fibre Optic Cable
The primary reason for their use is that they can carry hundred times more information than a copper wire
A fibre optic cables are lighter & less expensive than copper cables, & are less affected from interference
They function around the concept of transmitting electronic information, encoded onto a light beam
