What types of cables are commonly used in data centers?

1. Fiber Optical Cable

Fiber optical cable is a cable made of glass or plastic fiber that transmits optical signals. In data centers, optical cables are usually used to connect various parts inside the data center, as well as to connect the data center with the external network for data transmission and network connection. Optical cable has the advantages of large bandwidth, long transmission distance, and fast transmission.

2. Coaxial cable

Coaxial cable is a cable widely used in data centers for transmitting data and video signals. Coaxial cable has good anti-interference performance and can provide a high data transmission rate. In data centers, coaxial cable is mainly used for monitoring systems and security systems.

3. Twisted Pair

Twisted pair cable is a commonly used data transmission cable for transmitting data and voice signals. Twisted pair cable has low cost and high flexibility, and the transmission rate is relatively low. In data centers, twisted pair cables are usually used to connect telephone lines and network lines, and to connect terminal devices such as computers, printers, and network switches.

4. Power Cables

Power cables are key components for data center power supply and are generally divided into two categories: DC cables and AC cables. DC cables are used to transmit DC power to devices in the data center, such as servers, network equipment, and storage devices. AC cables are used to transmit AC power from power transformers to various parts of the data center.

5. Fiber jumper

Fiber jumper is a device used to connect fiber optic cables, usually used for fiber optic wiring inside data centers. Fiber jumper can achieve fast connection and disconnection of optical fibers, which is convenient for maintenance and management. In data centers, fiber jumpers are usually used to connect optical transceivers, switches, and fiber distribution frames.
