Based on the cable connectors discussed in chapter 9, two types of cable connectors would be Twisted Pair cable connectors and coaxial cable connectors. The two most common types of twisted pair connectors are UTP, which is unshielded twisted pair and STP, shielded twisted pair. They are commonly used in network cable or wiring such as CAT5, CAT6, and CAT7 with RJ45 connectors. It is also used in telephone wires with RJ11 connectors. Coaxial cable consist of a copper conductor wire used to send the electronic signal, a flexible plastic layer used as an insulator for the copper wire, then a braided copper or thin foil layer used as the second wire and shield for the insulator, followed up by the final layer which is the jacket, a rubber layer that acts as the deterrent for any damage for the previous three internal layers. These are commonly used with RG-11l or F-Type connectors for cable modems.
