Home / How to connect fiber optic cables to twisted-pair cables

The fiber optic converter is used to convert the light signals from the fiber optic cables into electrical signals that can be used by Ethernet twisted-pair wires. Each pair would consist of a wire used for the positive data signal and a wire used for the negative data signal. When designing or upgrading a network, understanding the differences between coaxial cable, twisted pair, and fiber optic cable—in terms of bandwidth, transmission distance, cost, and interference resistance—is essential. Fiber optic cable, twisted pair cable, and coaxial cable are three major types of network cables used in communication systems.

Twisted-Pair Cable Connectors

For twisted pair connection, you may need a crimping tool to push the metal contacts inside the cable connector onto the individual conductors in the cable. This tutorial tells you how to install twisted pair
