There are different types of communication cables available, but which cable suits your requirement depends on various factors, including current-carrying capacity, the nature of your existing system, the short circuit ratings, etc., and your needs.

Why Do We Need Data Cabling?

In organizations, data cables transfer information and data from sources to the destination between computer systems, cell phones, Wi-Fi systems, servers, and CCTV cameras. Thus, ensuring a reliable, quick, and clean network is essential with thousands of systems connected to a single AP.

Now that we're moving towards wireless connections, most sections still rely on wired systems. We rely on data cabling that runs underground and even underwater.

Different Classifications of Data Cables

Cables are made up by wrapping numerous wires together. The power cables are made by bundling three significant components- conductor, sheath, and dielectric. Electrical conductors are either made with coppers or with glass. Numerous cable types are used, but all are combined into three broad distinctions.

1. Optic cable (fiber) - Optic cable or fiber optic cable is an electric cable that consists of one or more optical fibers used for carrying currents and lights. For example- for long-distance telecommunication, or providing a fast network connection to an entire building or organization.

2. Coaxial cable (copper) - A coaxial cable or coax is an electric cable that consists of a copper conductor and an insulator shield around its surface that prevents the unwanted transfer of signals between connected networks. These cables support effective and high bandwidth and are easy to install and operate.

3. Twisted-pair cable (copper) - Twisted-pair cables have two conductors made up of copper and insulation around them. The conductors are twisted together, which is why they are called twisted pair cables. Compared to any other cable, these cables have limited bandwidth, but they are cost-effective and easy to install.

Now, which cabling falls into which class depends on what substances carry the electronic network and how the communication channel is shaped.
