wire is different: the network cable is generally composed of twisted pair, plastic insulation skin wrapped in 8 signal cables, wire core is generally made of copper, some outsourcing layer also has aluminum foil wrapped to shield interference.
1, wire is different: the network cable is generally composed of twisted pair, plastic insulation skin wrapped in 8 signal cables, wire core is generally made of copper, some outsourcing layer also has aluminum foil wrapped to shield interference. Consisting of multiple pairs of twisted wires wrapped together in an insulated cable sleeve. A typical twisted pair has four pairs, but there are many more pairs placed in a single cable sleeve. Prices are also lower; The main materials of optical fiber are quartz and plastic. Optical fibers are classified into single-mode and multi-mode, single-core and multi-core, and have more interconnection modes than network cables.
2, the application environment is different: optical fiber is mainly used in broadband communication, can provide users with visual, graphic, communication and data interactive multimedia information, optical fiber is suitable for outdoor long-distance transmission, small loss, corrosion resistance; Network cables are used to connect devices. They are suitable for indoor transmission and have a short distance. It is mainly used for engineering cabling, network connection, and device port system connection. For example: switches, hubs, firewalls and other devices.
