Crosstalk UTP STP Plenum space Riser space TESTOUT NETWORK PRO

Crosstalk: An unwanted transfer of signals between communication channels. UTP: UTP stands for unshielded twisted pair. UTP cables are easy to work with and less expensive than shielded cables. STP: STP stands for shielded twisted pair. Shielding is electrically conductive foil or braided material that is wrapped around pairs of wires, around the overall cable, or both. TESTOUT NETWORK PRO

Plenum space: A plenum space is a part of a building that provides a pathway for the airflow needed by heating and air conditioning systems, such as above a dropped ceiling or below a raised floor. Riser space: An area that connects multiple floors where cables can be run. This area cannot be a plenum space. TESTOUT NETWORK PRO

Why are wires twisted together in twisted pair cables? What is the difference between STP cabling and UTP cabling? What is the difference between Cat 3, Cat 5 e, and Cat 6 a cables? How can you tell the difference between RJ 11 and RJ 45 connectors? You have an installation that requires Cat 5 cabling. Which cable ratings could you use for the installation? TESTOUT NETWORK PRO
