There are several types of cable which are commonly used with LANs, Unshielded Twisted Pair, Shielded Twisted Pair, Coaxial or Fiber. In some cases, a network will utilize only one type of cable, while other networks will use a variety of cable types. The type of cable chosen for a network is related to the network’s topology, protocol, and size. Understanding the characteristics of different types of cable and how they relate to other aspects of a network is necessary for the development of a successful network.
