Beside thinnet and Thicknet, there are Types of Wiring can be used
- Twisted Pair Ethernet
Twisted Pair cable is divided into two types of shielded and unshielded. Shielded cable is a type that has a sheath wrapping while unshielded sheath has no wrapper. For this type of connection cable uses an RJ-11 or RJ-45.
In twisted pair (10 BaseT) network, a computer arranged to form a star pattern. Every PC has one twisted pair cables are centralized at the HUB. Twisted pair is generally more reliable (reliable) than the thin coax because HUB have error correction capabilities and enhance data transmission speed. Currently there are several grades, or categories of twisted pair cable. Category 5 is the most reliable and has high compatibility, and the most recommended, went well at 10Mbps and Fast Ethernet (100Mbps). Category 5 cable can be made straight-through or crossed.
Straight-through cable used to connect computers to the hub. Crossed cables are used to connect the HUB to HUB. The maximum length of cable Twisted-Pair cable is 100 m.
- Fiber Optic
A network using Fiber Optic (FOR) are usually large companies, due to price and installation process more difficult. However, networks that use FOs in terms of reliability and speed is not in doubt. Data transmission speeds with more than 100Mbps FO media and free environmental influences.
