| - | There are different types of communications cables, and the appropriate type to use will depend on the structure and [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:n:nettopo|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 [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:n:nettopo|topology]] of the overall architecture of the system.
