| - | There are different types of communications cables, and the appropriate type to use will depend on the structure and topology of the overall architecture of the system. The most commonly used types of communications cables are dominated by what is referred to as “twisted pair cable”. In local area networks; typically office environments, retail and commmercial sites, copper commincations cabling, i.e.,twisted pair cable is by far the most commonly used type of cable. | + | There are different types of communications cables, and the appropriate type to use will depend on the structure and [[ddsf:public:guidebook:06_append:glossary:n:nettopo|topology]] of the overall architecture of the system.
