There are several different methods to connect to the modern network. The two main methods are using bounded

and unbounded media.

Bounded media involves physical cabling like fiber

optic or copper cables. Unbounded media, on the

other hand, involves making the connection through

other methods. Wireless, infrared, cellular, and

microwave are all examples of unbounded media.

– Fiber optic connectors.» Fiber networking requires two cables—one to receive and one

to send.

– Different styles of fiber connectors.» SC.

• Subscriber Connector, or Square Connector, or Standard

Connector (Stick and Click).

» ST.

• Straight Tip (Stick and Twist).

» LC.

• Local Connector, or Lucent Connector, or Little Connector.

» MTRJ.

• Mechanical Transfer Registered Jack.

– RJ45.» Uses an eight-position eight-contact (8P8C) modular

connector.

» Used with twisted pair wiring.

» Can carry data or voice; common usage is data networking

(Ethernet).

– RJ11.» Uses a six-position four-contact (6P4C) modular connector.

» Used with twisted pair wiring.

» Can carry data or voice; common usage is voice

communication.

– BNC (Bayonet Neill-Concelman).» Also known as a bayonet connector.

» Used with coaxial cable; is now considered obsolete.

– F-connector.» A threaded bayonet connector.

» Used with coaxial cable.

– DB9 (RS232).» D-subminiature.

» Used for serial communication between devices.

– Patch panel.» Used as the connection point between punchdown block and

network equipment.

» Patch panels ease the administration of switches.

» Cables are punched down on the back of the patch panel.

» The front of the patch panel has a port associated with each

cable.

A 110 block can be used to terminate cable runs. Often, they are built into the backs of patch panels.

A 110 block can use either the 568A or 568B

standard. It is highly recommended that you

establish which of these standards you are going to

use and be consistent in its usage.

Bounded media uses physical media to make network connections. Fiber

optic connectors include: SC, ST, LC, and MTRJ.

Summary

Copper cable connectors include: RJ45, RJ11, BNC, F connectors, and

DB9 (RS232). Other types of copper connections are patch panels and

punchdown blocks. Patch panels are where cable runs are terminated and

ease the administration of switched networks. Many patch panels have 110

punchdown blocks built into them.
