Inside Copper Cabling
Copper has been used as a component of electric wiring since the 1820s. It acts as the electrical conductor in many different categories of cables used in structured cabling. Every copper cable is made of at least two copper wires that run through the length of the cable together, either side by side, twisted, or braided to form one unit. Copper wires come in many different forms for many different functions; our technicians are all highly certified in copper wiring and have the expertise to determine which form works best for every facility’s needs.
Twisted pair cabling is very popular in data networks due to its relative low cost. It is less expensive than either coaxial cables or optical fiber, but can only be run for short or medium length connections. Unshielded twisted pair cables, or UTP cables, are used for telephone and computer networks cabling. These cables are often used as patch cables for temporary connections. Most UTP cables are hidden out of sight, either inside walls or above ceilings. The downside of UTP wires are that they are the easiest to tap into, and are therefore not used for high security risk projects. Types of UTP cables include:
- Category 3 cable
- Category 5e cable
- Category 6 cable
As a solution to facilities that need higher security in their structured cabling, there are shielded twisted pair cables, or STP cables, that prevent electromagnetic interference. Common types of cabling that use shields include:
- Category 6a cable
- Category 7 cable
- Category 8 cable
Coaxial cables are another form of copper cables, but they are different than UTP and STP cables. They are often used for data connections in computer networks, video distribution, and to connect radio transmitters and receivers with antennas. These cables can be run for longer distances than UTP cables, but are more costly and much more difficult to work with.
The advent of completely wireless systems was once a concern for the future of copper cabling, and structured cabling in general. However, while wireless systems do have some advantages, copper-wired systems support higher bandwidths – meaning much faster speeds than wireless systems. Copper systems are also much more secure than wireless systems, and less susceptible to interference from other devices or systems.
