What are the different types of Cables?

The First type of cable is the Twisted pair
Twisted pair cabling is a type of wiring in which two conductors of a single circuit are twisted together for the purposes of improving electromagnetic compatibility.

Another type of  Twisted pair is the  STP 
Shielded Twisted Pair (STPCableSTP is similar to UTP but with each pair covered by an additional copper braid jacket or foil wrapping. This shielding helps protect the signals on the cables from external interference.


Another type of Twisted pair is the UTP

UTP stands for Unshielded Twisted Pair cableUTP cable is a 100 ohm copper cable that consists of 2 to 1800 unshielded twisted pairs surrounded by an outer jacket. They have no metallic shield. This makes the cable small in diameter but unprotected against electrical interference.

The Second type of cable is the Coaxial cable


Coaxial cable, or coax is a type of electrical cable that has an inner conductor surrounded by a tubular insulating layer, surrounded by a tubular conducting shield.

The Last type of cable is the Fiber optic cable


An optical fiber cable, also known as a fiber optic cable, is an assembly similar to an electrical cable, but containing one or more optical fibers that are used to carry light.

This are the different types of cables hope my blog helps!
