Copper cables main characteristics
The main characteristics of a transmission media are:
Vp: Velocity of propagation of the signal expressed as c fraction (speed of the light in the empty space):
values included between 0.5 and 0.8 c
Z = r+jI impedance of the line
conductors' dimension
american AWG unit of measurement
Diameter, electrical resistance

AWG: American Wire Gage
Scale to measure the copper wire dimension
It is a geometrical regression
with 39 values in the interval 000 gage (0.460 diameter inch) and 36 gage (0.005 diameter inch)
Every increase of a gage corresponds to a diameter relationship of:

Copper cable attenuation
The attenuation is the output signal reduction with respect to the entry signal in the cable:
attenuation linearly grows in dB with the length of the cable and the frequency square root
to reduce the cable attenuation expanded insulators are used because improve the capacity

Copper pair Cross-Talk
Signal energy part induction on the near conductors, where a disturb becomes
The phenomenon increases with increasing it by frequency
It can be measured in several manners

Velocity of propagation (Vp)
The propagation velocity of the signals on the transmission means is high, but not infinite, so the propagation time is little but not null
It is necessary to ensure that delays do not exceed certain maximum values to ensure the protocol working
VP ≅ 2/3 c(c is speed of the light in the empty
space≅ 3 • 108 m/s)

Shielded cable
The shield presence can involve:
bigger immunity to the electromagnetic disturb
disturb radio emission reduction
bigger constancy of the impedance
if applied to single pair reduces the crosstalk
It is necessary to make a correct screen grounding:

Twisted pair cable
Constituted by one or more twisted pair of copper conductors
Used for voice, local nets, structured cabling system
the electrical characteristic required for LAN are definitely higher than those for voice
Lower bandwith than the coaxial one
Reduced costs and simple installation

UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair):
(Z = 100 Ω)
FTP (Foiled Twisted Pair):
(Z = 100 Ω)

Glass Fiber Optic
It is a tiny and flexible glass material thread:
an internal part called core
an outside part called cladding
core and cladding have different refraction indexes to border the light inside core
