QUICKSTART GUIDE

Twisted Pair copper cable

•Easy to Terminate

•Low installation costs

•Susceptible to noise interference

•Limited to 100m

•Either shielded or unshielded (UTP)

Fiber

•Longer distances possible, limited only by attenuation

•Immune to electrical noise

•More difficult termination and splicing

•Slightly higher cost for cable

•Two categories:

•multi-mode

•single-mode
