Chapter 4 Transmitting Bits
Exercise 4.1.1
Because those same standards define how communication between different hardware and software involved, will take place.
4.1.2
The difference is between signal circuits and power circuits. Signal circuits operate at extremely low current levels and use digital logic voltage levels. Power circuits on the other hand require larger amounts of current to operate electrical devices such as motors, heating units
4.1.3
A very common application is the health care field. Shielded copper cable is often used in health care facilities for its efficiency and resistance to flame. The use of shielded cables in security systems provides some protection from power frequency and radio frequency interference, reducing the number of false alarms being generated. The best practice is to keep data or signal cables physically separated by at least 3 inches (75mm) from 'heavy' power circuits which are in parallel.

4.1.6
Coaxial cable conducts electrical signal using an inner conductor surrounded by an insulating layer and all enclosed by a shield, typically one to four layers of woven metallic braid and metallic tape. The cable is protected by an outer insulating jacket. Normally, the shield is kept at ground potential and a voltage is applied to the center conductor to carry electrical signals

4.1.7
UTP is less expensive than dedicated coax or fiber, Color-coded cabling, physically smaller than coax, easiest media to install and reconfigure, UTP is extremely easy to terminate. TP cable is less expensive per foot than traditional RG59 coaxial cable

    For the COAXIAL CABLE I would do the same first few steps by getting the correct length of cable that I would need. Then you would use the cable stripper and stripe off just over a half inch of the outer jacket. I would then insert the center conductor into the center pin. I would crimp the pin twice with a ratcheting crimper. I would then put the connector onto the end of the cable. The barrels of the connector should slide under the shielding. Push the center pin until it clicks into the connector. Slide the ferrule along the sleeve down the cable so that it pushes the braided shielding around the barrel of the connector. I would then crimp the ferule barrel twice, once at the connector side and again at the jacket side. I would then remove it from the crimping tool and examine it. I would check to see that the connector is securely attached to the end of the cable. If I did it properly I shouldn’t be able to move. With…

    In my opinion Cat 6 cable should be used instead the Category 5 CM-rated UTP cable as the horizontal cables that are connected to the patch panel mounted in a relay rack in each of building closets. Cat6 is the most advanced cable in its category. . Cat 6 cable supports up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet for up to about 37 meters or 121 feet. Cat6 cables are made up of four twisted sets of copper wire and its abilities surpass cat5 and cat5e types of data cabling because it has a structural difference in its longitudinal separator…

    3. Should fiber optic horizontal cabling be installed but not terminated as future proofing for a future higher-speed network? What is the cost difference between copper UTP cable and fiber optic cable? Use this model to compute the relative cost—http://www.fols.org/cost_model. (10 points) Fiber optic cable is very expensive and is usually run on a WAN. If fiber optic cabling is already in use, I would leave the cable as it is, but if not, I wouldn’t recommend using it because fiber optic is very expensive. If there are enough funds available, I would recommend using fiber optic cabling if the network is being used for a future higher-speed network. Fiber optic cabling and copper UTP cables are very different when it comes to the cost for installing. They are roughly the same price for installation but not when purchasing a large amount of cable. Some of the long-term benefits of using fiber optic cabling…

    copper vs fiber

    Some Advantages of Fiber Cabling are Electromagnetic Interference the interference in signal transmission or reception caused by the radiation of electrical and magnetic fields. Optical Fiber is immune to electromagnetic energy because it is a dielectric (not able to conduct electric current). Copper cabling, if not installed properly is vulnerable to the effects of EMI, such as undesirable responses, degradation, or complete system failure. High Bandwidth — Fiber has a higher bandwidth than copper. Example: Category 6A Cable is classified by the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) to handle a bandwidth up to 600 MHz over 100 meters, which theoretically, could carry around 18,000 calls at the same time. Multimode Fiber, on the other hand, would have a bandwidth of over 1000 MHz which could carry almost 31,000 simultaneous calls. (Staff, 2014) Less Expensive — fiber cable is actually less expensive than copper, but don’t forget the expensive electronics that it requires. Lightweight — An optical cable weighs less than a comparable copper wire cable. Non-flammable — Fiber is a dielectric, which means that there isn’t any electrical current that…
