THE NOTABLE HISTORY OF NETWORKS AND STRUCTURED CABLING

Image
Data networks and structured network cabling in New York and elsewhere were first implemented in the 19th century. Since then, these technologies have been used to build and power numerous inventions, many of which we still use today. Here is the notable history of networks and structured cabling. The Foundations for Networks and Structured Cabling In the 19th century, cables consisted of unshielded, insulated wire made from whatever materials were available. Copper was (and still is) the most popular material used in network cabling. In 1844, Samuel Morse invented the telegraph to send a message to Washington, DC, almost 40 miles away from where Morse resided. This machine was the first to use copper cabling and a binary system. The binary system consisted of dots and dashes in numerous sequences to represent letters and numbers, at roughly 2-3 dots and dashed per second. This monumental invention laid the groundwork for the development of modern computer networks. The only differenc...

MAJOR FACTS ABOUT NETWORK CABLING

  It's  no secret that internet service has transformed the business world. With the availability of   network cabling in New York,  local businesses, residences, and other properties are able to access the internet and work online more quickly and easily than ever before. It's worth considering some well-known facts about network cabling, so you know what to expect today and can be ready for the trends that will shape the information superhighway of tomorrow. Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) The most common type of network cabling for Ethernet is known as unshielded twisted pair or UTP cabling. It was already well-established as a cable for telephone systems with standards established by AT&T. Today, UTP is the most popular type of cabling used for data networking. The metal inside the cables is copper, usually measuring around 22 or 24 American Wire Gauge (AWG). The insulation is generally either polyethylene or fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP). The bundled wi...
