Network Cables and Connectors Network cables and connectors vary by: • The gauge of the wires used in the cable. • The number of wires used in the cable. • The relationship of the wires to each other and the rest of the cable construction. • Whether shielding is used in the cable to prevent or limit interference. • The connectors used on the cable. • The maximum length a cable segment can be. • The cost of the cable.

Cable Internet Connections • Internet connection through a cable modem. • A splitter is installed to split the TV channel traffic from the data traffic. • A cable modem connects via an RG-59 coaxial cable. • An RJ-45 cable connects from the cable modem to the network card.
ISDN Internet Connection • Uses a single wire or fiber-optic line to carry voice, data, and video signals. • Uses existing phone company switches and wiring. • Basic Rate Interface (BRI) is most commonly used in residential ISDN connections. • Primary Rate Interface (PRI) is most commonly used between a Private Branch Exchange (PBX) at the customer’s site and the phone company central office. • In Europe, the BRI is the same, but the PRI is composed of 30 B channels and one D channel.
Dial-up Internet Connection • Usually the least expensive method available. • Uses an analog modem connected to a serial port on your computer and connects to the analog phone line. • It is limited to 56 Kbps.
