Network Cables: An Overview
Network cables are used to connect computers, printers, and other devices to a local network. The type of cable used depends on the kind of network, e.g. Ethernet cables for wired networks or wireless technology for wireless networks. Common types of network cables are twisted-pair, coaxial, and fiber-optic cables.

Network cables
Twisted Pair Cable: A type of network cable that consists of two insulated copper wires that are twisted together in order to reduce signal interference.
Coaxial Cable: A type of network cable that consists of a single copper wire surrounded by an insulation layer and a braided metal shield for protection against outside interference.
Fiber Optic Cable: A type of network cable that uses pulses of light to transmit data. It is made of a thin strand of glass or plastic and is used to send data over longer distances with greater accuracy.
