Network Cabling
Fiber-Optic Media
a flexible transparent fiber that is made of high quality glass (silica) or plastic slightly thicker than human hair.
Fiber optic cable has the ability to transmit signals over much longer distances than coaxial and twisted pair.

Use of fiber-optic media
Networking -- used to connect users and servers in many network settings and help increase the speed of data transmission.
-
Medical- used as light guides, imaging tools and lasers for surgeries.

Shielded Twisted Pair
STP is similar to UTP but with each pair covered by an additional copper braid jacket or foil wrapping. This shielding helps protect the signals on the cables from external interference.
STP is more expensive than UTP but has the benefit of being able to support higher transmission rates over longer distances.
-
STP can be used for high-speed networks, ATM, where shielding is important.
STP and FTP offer an additional layer of protection with shielding (also called screening) wrapped around the individual twisted wires.
STP Cable Function
Transmission media are used on some electronic devices to connect between senders and receivers in order to exchange data.
-
Some electronic tools, such as telephones, television and radio computers require transmission media to receive data. As with the telephone, the transmission media used to connect two phones is a cable. Each electronic device has different transmission media in its data transmission.
