Ethernet Cable Assemblies
CAT 5 and CAT5e Assemblies are widely used for an Ethernet Broadband Networks. These ethernet cable assemblies come in a variety of colors and are available in Custom lengths upon request. CAT 6 and CAT6e Assemblies are widely used in high speed Ethernet Broadband Networks. These premium ethernet cable assemblies
come in a variety of colors and are available in Custom lengths upon request. Thicknet Assemblies
are the traditional media for an Ethernet Broadband Network. These coax assemblies come in both PVC and Plenum. Custom lengths are available upon request.
Thinnet Assemblies offer an alternative cabling system that provides full
Ethernet compatibility. Custom lengths and plenum cables are available. Transceiver Cable Assemblies
are the main transmission medium of an Ethernet Baseband Network. These coax assemblies are available in both PVC and Plenum. Custom lengths are also available upon request. Office Transceiver Cable Assemblies are equiv- alent to the standard type except that they are
made with smaller, more flexible cable for inner office use. These assemblies have straight entry connector hoods and are for use in non-plenum areas. 10 Base-T Patch Cables are available in custom lengths and colors for all twisted pair installs, i.e.,
using hubs and other Ethernet devices. 10 Base-T Octopus Cables
are available for 10Mb usage. These cables come in either 90o or 180o for specific connections. 10 Base-FL Fiber Optic Assemblies are ideal for long runs and outdoor applications. Available in non-plenum, plenum, or outdoor styles.
Introduction to Ethernet Topology Ethernet is baseband Local Area Network with a bus topology, meaning that all the stations run off a
common trunk cable. The trunk is a coaxial cable constructed to allow data rates of 10 megabits per second over cable segment lengths of 1640 feet.
A multi-conductor Transciever cable is then used to connect the station to the trunk segment. The maximum trunk network lengths within a bus network system spans 8200 feet witht the use of
reapeters and the properly designed cable. This supports a maximum number of stations per network of 1024. A thin, less expensive coaxial Ethernet RG58 coax cable also be utilized. Know as Thinnet or
Cheapernet, this cable supports fewer stations over shorter distances. |
