Cost of Wiring Options

Cost per foot

• Optical Fiber 1.10 per foot

• Twisted Pair
• Category 5 0.09 per
  foot
• Category 3 0.05 per
  foot

• Coaxial Cable 0.00 per foot

6
Optical Fiber

• This medium has the ability to carry more
  information, further and faster than the other
  wire solutions proposed.
• NOTE Other fast speed wiring is available such
  as T1, T3, and D3 lines, but cost prohibits the
  use of such wire in this wiring scheme

7
Optical Fiber

• Bandwidth 10,000 Mbps
• Noise Protection - Unnecessary
• Durability Bendable in 2 radius

8
Category 5 Cable

• Data-grade transmission cable capable of
  supporting data transmissions up to 100
  Mbps. This is the cheapest, most flexible and
  most used cable today.

9
Category 5 Cable

• Bandwidth 100 Mbps
• Noise Protection Plastic and Wire Twist
• Durability Very Flexible

10
Category 3 Cable

• Data-grade transmission cable capable of handle
  transmissions up to 10Mbps. Once the most widely
  used type of cable, now used mostly for phones.

11
Category 3 Cable

• Bandwidth 10 Mbps
• Noise Protection Almost none
• Durability Very Flexible

12
Coaxial Cable (Thinnet)

• Most commonly used with 10Base2 Ethernet or
  ARCnet networks. Uses BNC (British Naval
  Connectors) and terminators on every segment.

13
Coaxial Cable (Thinnet)

• Bandwidth 10 Mbps
• Noise Protection Shielded Plastic
• Durability Very flexible

14
Coaxial Cable (Thicknet)

• Most commonly used as the backbone of a
  10Base5 coaxial network and in Television
  Networks. i.e. Cable Television

15
Coaxial Cable (Thicknet)

• Bandwidth 10 Mbps
• Noise Protection Shielded Plastic
• Durability Not very flexible
