2.1Network Connectors

2 coaxial types:

Bayonet Neill-Concelman (BNC) F-connector

F-connector

RF Signals Typically used with video Cable television RG6 and RG59 cable

2 Types of Twisted Pair connectors:

RJ-11 RJ-45

Straight-Tip (ST)

Round shaped ends (bayonet) 2.5mm Diameter Typically multi-mode fiber for datacenter use

Subsciber Connector (SC)

Square shaped ends 2.5mm Diameter Typically single mode for datacomm use

Lucent Connector (LC)

Square shaped ends Considerably smaller than SC 1.25mm Diameter Used in high-density environments with Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP)

3 types of Fiber connectors:

Subsciber Connector (SC) - D Straight-Tip (ST) - A Lucent Connector (LC) - C

2 wiring standards for twisted pair

T-568A T-568B

Where would you find Tx Rx ports

Tx is short form for transmit Rx is short form for receive Used for fiber-optics

Wiring standards T-568B

Typically used for "patch" cables Cables between devices and wall jacks Pinouts 1 White/Orange 2 Orange 3 White/Green 4 Blue 5 White/Blue 6 Green 7 White/Brown 8 Brown

Wiring standards T-568A

Typically used for "structured" wiring Cables in walls Pinouts 1 White/Green 2 Green 3 White/Orange 4 Blue 5 White/Blue 6 Orange 7 White/Brown 8 Brown

RJ-11

Typically used with telephone equipment Can be used with Cat3 cabling for 10Mbit computer networking

Bayonet Neill-Concelman (BNC)

Typically used with video Can be used with ThinNet/ThickNet for token ring and bus based networks

RJ-45

Used for computer networking Can be used with Cat3/Cat5/Cat6 for 10/100/1000Mbit networking
