Howard Hudson - Week 4 - IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Cable Standard

In 1991, the original ANSI/EIA/TIA-568 was published. In 1995, ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-A defined the Category 5 cable followed by ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B.2, which recognized and defined category 5e twisted-pair cable in May 2001.  In August 2009, TIA-568-C.2 identified the requirements for category 3, category 5e, category 6, and category 6A balanced twisted-pair cabling. In November 2017, ISO/IEC 11801 was released which details cabling that support 25GBASE-T applications.

T568A and T568B are the two color codes used for wiring 8-position 8-contact/RJ45 modular plugs. Both wire configurations are allowed under the ANSI/TIA/EIA wiring standards.  Whichever one is used, ensure both ends are the same configuration. Category 5e cable is the only version of category 5 cable that is currently used. Category 5e cable and Category 6 cable are the standards for mainstay applications. Category 7 is the new kid on the block with Category 8 following close behind it.

It is important to install the correct cabling that supports modern network speed requirements. The primary cable used for network connections inside a building is Ethernet cable. Future proofing a network is good planning, but a network that only transfers relatively small amounts of data will not need Category 7 cables and Category 7 connectors. Use the Mbps chart as a rough guide to decide what is necessary.

    Hey! This is a very educational blog with helpful recommendations. As a businessperson, you should be aware of the top industrial products provider from where you can obtain the most advanced electronic gear. I'd like to relate my most recent experience with DINTEK Electronic LTD , a cabling manufacturing company in Taipei, Taiwan.
    I bought a Cat 7 cable system and fibre patch cables , and I expect to receive them in excellent shape. They also offer a 25-year warranty on some of their items. So, at the very least, give this company a chance; you will not be disappointed.

    Thanks for sharing this informative information. This is very informative. I am looking for more updates in the future. Keep it up.

    Actually, I know someone that also offers high-quality Cat.6A Shielded Toolless Jack online. For more, visit www.dintek.com.tw today.

Howard Hudson - Week 3 - IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Frame Standard

Image
Similar to the Ethernet cable, the Ethernet frame has evolved thanks to a focused effort to develop the IEEE 802.3 standard. There were four frame types created (five if you count Ethernet version 1). The standards included Ethernet II (also known as Ethernet 2 and Ethernet DIX), IEEE 802.3, EEE 802.3 + IEEE 802.2 LLC, and IEEE 802 SNAP. However, at the end of the day Ethernet II prevailed. Unfortunately, there are a few points of confusion still floating around the internet regarding the IEEE 802.3 standard because it is not Ethernet per say...it is the IEEE standard.  The first is the structure of the “preamble” and “start of frame”. Second, whether “type”, “length”, or both are used. The third is the use of the “Pad” field. Then again, the Ethernet frame and IEEE 802.3 frame are relatively interchangeable at this point (at the casual conversation level). The Frame  table below is the result of weeding through numerous resources. Frame   7      +     1

Howard Hudson - Week 7 - TCP/IP Security

Secure communication is very important. I can send an email with “Privacy Act of 1974” in the subject line, but anyone who receives (or intercepts) the email can open it and read it. However, using encryption will protect the email from prying eyes by generating an output that is only legible with decryption. Using encryption does not mean that someone cannot steal your data, but it does mean that it is unreadable unless someone has the code (a key) to decipher the data. There are two encryption types: symmetric and asymmetric. Symmetric encryption uses a single key to encrypt and decrypt data. Asymmetric encryption uses two keys (one private key and one public key); one key is to encrypt and the other is to decrypt. Block cypher and stream cypher are subgroups of encryption. Generally speaking, a block cypher encrypts a block of data whereas a stream cypher encrypts individual bits of data. The table below identifies a few of the encryption types Encryption
