Telecommunications Cabling

Telecommunication cabling is a type of transmission media. Cables are usually known to transmit electric energy, but in telecommunications fields, cables are used to transmit electromagnetic waves, they are called electromagnetic wave guides. Telecommunications are based on transmitting modulated waves/signals through a medium and receiving them. When the distance between the transmitter and receiver is far, or we are using unguided medium transmission, antennas are used. Otherwise, in guided medium transmission, telecommunication cabling is used. Telecommunication cabling is divided into several types:

Structured wiring falls into six subsystems:

• Transmission lines when electric signals are transmitted.
• Waveguides when electromagnetic waves are transmitted.
• Optical fibers when light signals are transmitted.
