Network Cables

Ethernet Cables
Overview
• A network cable, common example is an Ethernet cable, is a
type of cable that is used to connect computer networks. These
cables transmit data and information between two or more
devices such as computers, routers, modems and switches.

• They are usually made with copper and have eight pins.
Ethernet cables come in a variety of different lengths and colors,
depending on the type of cable you need..
Types & Categories
Types of Ethernet Cables
Solid Ethernet Cables
• Solid Ethernet cables offer slightly better performance and improved protection against electrical
interference. They're also commonly used on business networks, wiring inside office walls, or under lab
floors to fixed locations.
Stranded Ethernet Cables
• Stranded Ethernet cables are less prone to physical cracks and breaks, making them more suitable for
travelers or in-home network setups.

Straight-Through Or Patch Cables

• Straight-through cables, often known as

patch cables, are used to connect different
types of devices. For example, a computer
to a router.

Cross Over Cables

• Crossover cables are used to connect two

devices of the same kind, for example,
connecting two computers.
