LAN cable - Cables in local area network

LAN Cable is used to connect communicating systems such as a computer or router with another system. The ultimate aim of the LAN cable is to transfer data from one system to the other system. Over the past several years, local area networks (LANs) have become common place in business and manufacturing facilities. Local Area Connections now connect a vast number if personal computers, work stations, printers and file servers in the modern office. Local area networks use technologies such as Ethernet, token-ring which are generally connected via hubs. The connectivity between a hub and the system is done with a LAN Cable.
LAN system is typically implemented by physically connecting all of these devices with copper conductor twisted pair LAN cables, the most common being an 8-wire cable which is configured as 4 twisted – wire pairs. A twisted pair cable includes at least one pair of insulated conductors twisted about each other to form a two conductor group. When more than one twisted pair group is bunched or cables together, it is referred as multiple pair cable. High performance twisted pair cables have become popular for a variety of reasons. Such cables are comparatively easy to handle, install, terminate and use.
They also are capable of meeting high performance standard. The twisted pair cables must meet the specific standards of performance in order to efficiently and accurately transmit the data between the communication devices. LAN cable sometimes includes a flexible foil wrapper that acts as an electrostatic shield.
