Physical media

Twisted pair - Wire is twisted to minimize crosstalk interference. It may be shielded or unshielded.

 UTP-Unshielded Twisted Pair. Normally UTP contains 8 wires or 4 pair. 100 meter maximum length. 4-100 Mbps speed.

 STP-Shielded twisted pair. 100 meter maximum length. 16-155 Mbps speed. Lower electrical interference than UTP.

Coaxial - Two conductors separated by insulation such as TV 75 ohm cable. Maximum length of 185 to 500 meters.

 Thinnet - Thinnet uses a British Naval Connector (BNC) on each end. Thinnet is part of the RG-58 family of cable*. Maximum cable length is 185 meters. Transmission speed is 10Mbps. Thinnet cable should have 50 ohms impedance and its terminator has 50 ohms impedance. A T or barrel connector has no impedance.

 Thicknet - Half inch rigid cable. Maximum cable length is 500 meters. Transmission speed is 10Mbps. Expensive and is not commonly used. (RG-11 or RG-8). A vampire tap or piercing tap is used with a transceiver attached to connect computers to the cable. 100 connections may be made. The computer has an attachment unit interface (AUI) on its network card which is a 15 pin DB-15 connector. The computer is connected to the transceiver at the cable from its AUI on its network card using a drop cable.

Coax cable types:

 RG-58 /U - 50 ohm, with a solid copper wire core.
 RG-58 A/U* - 50 ohm, with a stranded wire core.
 RG-58 C/U* - Military version of RG-58 A/U.
 RG-59 - 75 ohm, for broadband transmission such as cable TV.
 RG-62 - 93 ohm, primarily used for ArcNet.
 RG-6 - Used for satellite cable (if you want to run a cable to a satellite!).

*Only these are part of the IEEE specification for ethernet networks.

Fiber-optic - Data is transmitted using light rather than electrons. Usually there are two fibers, one for each direction. Cable length of 2 Kilometers. Speed from 100Mbps to 2Gbps. This is the most expensive and most difficult to install, but is not subject to interference. Two types of cables are:

 Single mode cables for use with lasers.
 Multimode cables for use with Light Emitting Diode (LED) drivers.
