Cable types
Coaxial Cable-
Coaxial cable, often called coax cable, is a type of electrical cable that consists of a central conductor, an insulating layer, a
metallic shield, and an outer insulating layer.
It is commonly used for cable television (CATV), internet connections, and some Ethernet networks.
twisted pair-
Twisted pair cables consist of pairs of insulated copper wires twisted together to reduce electromagnetic interference.
Shielded twisted pair (STP) cables have an additional layer of shielding to further reduce interference.
Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cables are more common and are used in Ethernet networking, with categories like Cat 5e, Cat 6, and Cat 6a.
OSI & TCP/IP
TCP/IP
TCP/IP is a different model to the OSI model, it is not theoretical and is a accurate protocol of how computer communicate thought he internet .
It was theorised by Bob Kahn and called the Transmission Control Protocol often known today as the Internet protocol suite or TCP/IP
OSI
theoretical model for how packets move from one computer across the network to another.
Its is broken down into 7 layers each one defined by different protocols, software and hardware.
The OSI model is Theoretical which means while it is fairly accurate to how a network works it is not fully accurate in all instances

CAT1-6 CABLES
Cat 1 to Cat 6 cables are categories of twisted pair Ethernet cables.
They differ in terms of their capabilities, including bandwidth and maximum data transmission speeds. Cat 6, for example, supports faster data rates and is commonly used for gigabit Ethernet.
RJ-45 Connector (Straight-Through Cable, Crossover Cable, Rollover Cable)
-
Straight-through cables connect similar devices (e.g., a computer to a switch).
Crossover cables connect dissimilar devices (e.g., two computers).
Rollover cables are used for device configuration, often connecting a computer to a router or switch.
F-type connector a threaded, coaxial RF connector commonly used with coaxial cables to connect devices like TVs, cable modems, and satellite receivers to antennas or cable services.
