Advantage of Using Twisted Pair Wiring, Coaxial Cable and Fiber Optic

Twisted-pair cable has several advantages over other types of cable (coaxial and fiber-optic)-it is readily available, easy to install, and inexpensive.

Coaxial cable is made of two conductors that share the same axis; the centre is a copper wire that is insulated by a plastic coating and then wrapped with an outer conductor (usually a wire braid) (Adam, 2008). This outer conductor around the insulation serves as electrical shielding for the signal being carried by the inner conductor (Adas, 2009).

When both material and installation costs are taken into ...
