The use of telecom cables enables two-way communication over long distances by transferring information from one spot to another.
Although the telephone was the initial invention that made this possible, this can now also be accomplished via the computer and television.
During the early days of telecommunication, only oral exchanges could be made. Thanks to advances in technology, our telecom efforts can now include videos and data.
I will introduce the types of telecommunication cables to you so that you can have a better understanding of our products. When you know more about the different types of telecommunication wires that are available, you will be better equipped to decide which one is right for your needs.
That is why we will go over the three most common telecom cable types:
-
Coaxial
The coaxial cable is also referred to as the coax cable. It was created by Oliver Heaviside in 1880.
These copper telecom cables consist of two channels that share the same axis. The first channel is in charge of transporting the signal, while the concentric channel that envelops the insulation layer of the inner channel is used as a ground.
-
Twisted pair
Twisted pair cables allow personal and business computers to connect with the telephone company. They were invented by Alexander Graham Bell in 1881.
Twisted pair cables get their name from their double wire design. This design consists of a pair of wires being twisted together. The two wires are parallel to one another.
-
Fiber optic
This next type of telecom cable is relatively new compared to the cables we’ve already discussed. Fiber optic cables use light to send data. The fibers in these cables are covered with plastic and reside in a tube that prevents interference.
Fiber optic cables are composed of an outer casing and core. The optical casing encompasses the light, keeping it contained in the core.
