Baltimore, using his new invention "The Telegraph". Morse code is type of binary
system which uses dots and dashes in different sequences to represent letters and
numbers, modern data networks use 1's and 0's to achieve the same result. The big
difference is, that while the telegraph operators of the mid 19th Century could perhaps
transmit 2 or 3 dots and dashes per second, computers now communicate at speeds of
over 1 Gigabit, or to put it another way, 1,000,000,000 separate 1's and 0's every
second.
Not long after Morse's Telegraph, a French inventor called Emile Baudot
developed a printing telegraph machine which used a typewriter style keyboard, this
allowed virtually anyone to send and receive telegraph messages. Baudot used a
different type of code for his system because Morse code didn't lend itself to
automation, this was due to the uneven length and size of bits required for each letter.
Baudot used a five bit code to represent each character, this would normally only give
problem by using two 'shift characters' for figures and letters, which performed the
same sort of function as a typewriter shift key. Now he had 62 combinations for letters,
figures and punctuation marks. To this day, the speed of serial communications is still

Despite its long running success, the Baudot five bit code could only use 'upper
case', so it had to be replaced with something that would allow more alphanumeric
together to devise a new code, this time they used 7 bits which could represent 128
characters. This is known as the American Standard Code for Information Interchange
or the ASCII code. It was immediately accepted by nearly all of the worlds computer and
communications companies, except of course IBM, who decided to make their own
standard.
EBCDIC, it uses 8 bits and can represent 256 characters, but apart from using it in their
mid range and mainframe computers, it never really caught on. Not to be completely out
done, IBM adopted the ASCII code but extended it by using an eighth bit so it could
communications, it has only been in the last 30 years that things have really started to
speed up. This was born out of necessity, as the need to communicate between
computers at ever increasing speeds, has driven the development of faster and faster
networking equipment and, higher and higher specification cables and connecting
hardware.
Ethernet was developed in the mid 1970's by the Xerox Corporation at their Palo
Alto Research Centre (PARC) in California, and in 1979 DEC and Intel joined forces
with Xerox to standardize the Ethernet system for everyone to use. The first
specification by the three companies called the 'Ethernet Blue Book' was released in
1980, it was also known as the 'DIX standard' after their initials. It was a 10 Mega bits
per second system (10Mbps, = 10 million 1's and 0's per second) and used a large
coaxial backbone cable running throughout the building, with smaller coax cables
tapped off at 2.5m intervals to connect to the workstations. The large coax which was
usually yellow became known as 'Thick Ethernet' or 10Base5, the '10' refers to the
speed (10Mbps), the 'Base' because it is a base band system (base band uses all of its
bandwidth for each transmission, as opposed to broad band which splits the bandwidth
into separate channels to use concurrently), and the '5' is short for the systems
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) released the official
Ethernet standard in 1983 called the IEEE 802.3 after the name of the working group
responsible for its development, and in 1985 version 2 (IEEE 802.3a) was released.
This second version is commonly known as 'Thin Ethernet' or 10Base2, in this case the
maximum length is 185m even though the '2' suggest that it should be 200m.
In 1984, IBM introduced Token Ring which was able to transmit data at 4Mbps,
this system uses a thick black 2 pair shielded cable with large 4 pole connectors. The
Instead of the normal plug and socket arrangement of male and female gendered
connectors, the Data Connector was designed to mate with itself, a sort of
hermaphrodite. Although the IBM Cabling System is to this day a very high quality and
robust data communication media, it has lost favour with a lot of customers. This is
partly due to its large size and cost, and partly because it only has 4 cores and therefore
It is rumored that Type 1 cable was originally tested to 300MHz even though it
was only categorized as a 20MHz cable for Token Ring, and the newer version, Type
1A was reportedly tested to 600MHz and categorized as a 100MHz cable. There were
many other types of network at that time (too numerous to mention here), which used
different types of cables and connectors, so it soon became clear that a standard for

utilize twisted pair telephone cable, and in 1990 the IEEE released the 802.3I Ethernet
standard 10BaseT (the 'T' refers to Twisted pair cable). In 1991 the EIA together with
telecommunications cabling standard called EIA/TIA 568, the structured cabling system
was born. It was based on Category 3 Unshielded Twisted Pair cable (UTP), and was
closely followed one month later by a Technical Systems Bulletin (TSB-36) which
specified higher grades of UTP cable, Category 4 and 5 (Cat 4 & Cat 5).
Cat 4 specified data rates of up to 20MHz and Cat 5 up to 100MHz which at the
time must have seemed like ample bandwidth for future development, but now, less
than ten years later, even Cat 5 is being pushed to its limits by new networking
technologies.i
UTP Cable
A twisted pair is a type of wiring in which two conductors of a single circuit are
twisted together for the purposes of canceling out EMI, electromagnetic interface, from
external sources. It was designed with the application of the electromagnetic principles
Figure 1
Figure 2
The design of this twisting conductors was invented by Alexander Graham Bell.
Bell, the noted inventor of the telephone system came up with an abstract solution to
the Electromagnetic Interference. In balanced pair operation, the two wires carry equal
and opposite signals and the destination detects the difference between the two. This is
known as differential mode transmission. Noise sources introduce signals into the wires
by coupling of electric or magnetic fields and tend to couple to both wires equally. The
noise thus produces a common-mode signal which is canceled at the receiver when the
difference signal is taken. This method starts to fail when the noise source is close to
the signal wires; the closer wire will couple with the noise more strongly and

shield/foil that surrounds the pair which makes it unprotected to EMI. Though the same
principle of the twist which causes a fair immunity to electrical noise is still applied. iii
Unshielded twisted pair cables are cheaper than shielded ones and are easier to
install. Though it suffers from EMI, it still gives a good transmission of voice and data. A
good verification and proof of its ability to fair transmission are the telephone networks
of today. UTP are used still today as one of the popular and common transmission
medium.

create problems in certain situations. If the cable is installed near large electrical

UTP comes in different types called Categories, often abbreviated as "Cat". The
most common are Cat 3, Cat 5e, and Cat 6. The higher the category number, the more
twists per foot in the pair, and the better protection from interference. Cat 3 is usually
used for home telephone systems. Cat 5e is the industry standard for computer
starting to become the favorite for new installs due to its increased speed and protection
from interference.
UTP can also come in many different sizes based upon the number of pairs. Cat
3 used for telephones often come in two pair, as that is all that is needed for a basic
telephone system. Standard Cat 5 or 6 network cables are eight twisted pair. Backbone
cables that run from floor to floor in large buildings are often 25 pair cables. The 25 pair
The UTP copper conductor cable size varies which depends on application or
transmission and the category of the circuit. The number of pairs are also varied
according to the transmission being done. The copper conductor of both horizontal and
backbone UTP cables are either 22 AWG or 24 AWG. 24 AWG is the most common
size, but higher-performance cables like Category 6 UTP employ the larger 23 AWG
copper wires.
UTP cables were invented for voice applications. Voice UTP cables only needed
to carry analog signals which are very robust and not easily corrupted by electrical noise
or EMI. However, as UTP cables were used for different systems, higher quality UTP
cables were required to support data systems that used digital signaling.
created along these years. Higher category UTP cables are referred to as data grade
UTP cables, and low category UTP cables are referred to as voice grade UTP cables.

Anixter Level 2 (Cat 2) was a grade of UTP cable capable of transmitting data at
up to 4 Mbit/s. It is the first cable which can transmit voice and data up to 4mbps.

networks, it is also used in telephone networks but it is no longer commonly
used.
As its name implies, solid conductor UTP cables have a single, solid conducting
copper wire as the conductor. In addition to being physically stronger and easier to work
with, these larger wires have superior electrical characteristics that remain stable over a

UTP cables used for both horizontal and backbone applications are typically solid
conductor cables.
Stranded-conductor UTP cables are typically used as patch cables in either work
areas or telecommunication rooms. They are the most common Category-type cables
Inside the twisted pairs of a stranded cable, each individual conductor is made up
of a bundle of smaller-gauge wire strands. These are arranged so that several wires
(commonly 6 or 18) surround a single wire at the bundle’s center. The outer wires are
wrapped helically around the central wire through a process called stranding. The
stranded wires together form a single conductor with an overall diameter about the
same as that of a conductor in a solid cable, but with a much smaller conducting area
The stranding of the wire conductors serves to protect them, and gives stranded

stripe and the other wire is assigned the color white with the pair color stripe. The table

UTP backbone cables are large, multi-pair cables. These cables are constructed
of 25-pair binder groups. Each binder group is individually color coded and each pair
The 25-pair binder group is organized into five groups and there are five pairs in
White – pairs 1 to 5
Red – pairs 6 to 10
Black – pairs 11 to 15
Yellow – pairs 16 to 20
Violet – pairs 21 to 25
Within each color group, the five pairs are designated with the group color code
and the pair color code. The pair color code for each of the five pairs with a color coded
group are

(b) More than 25-pair binder groups
Multi-pair UTP cables that have more than 25 pairs organize the 25-pair binder
groups in color-coded groups using the same color-coding sequence. This is shown in
connector in the work area as shown below. The RJ45 jack is an 8-conductor, compact,
modular jack used to terminate UTP data cable. RJ45 jacks are engineered to maintain
specific Category 5, 5e, 6, or 6A performance, and therefore must match the category of
When we refer to a jack or patch panel’s wiring connection, we refer to either the
568A or 568B wiring scheme. 568A and 568B wiring scheme define the pin-pair
assignments for terminating UTP cable. These assignments define the pinout, or order
of connections, for wires in 8P8C eight-pin modular connector plugs and sockets.
In UTP cable, each pair is represented by a specific color. Pair 1 is Blue, Pair 2 is
Orange, Pair 3 is Green, and Pair 4 is Brown. In each pair, one wire is a solid color, and
the other is predominantly white with a color stripe. When terminating UTP cable, each
pair corresponds to a specific pin on the IDC contacts of the jack or patch panel.
The following charts illustrate the difference between 568A and 568B wiring
scheme.
Notice that the only difference between 568A and 568B is that pairs 2 and 3
(orange and green) are swapped. Both configurations wire the pins “straight through”,
i.e., pins 1 through 8 on one end are connected to pins 1 through 8 on the other end.
One can use cables wired according to either configuration in the same
installation without significant problem. The primary thing one has to be careful is not to
accidentally wire the ends of the same cable according to different configurations.

As UTP is a balanced transmission line, a balun is needed to connect to unbalanced
equipment, for example any using BNC connectors and designed for coaxial cable.
