Copper Media

Default type of cable used in networks for decades.

IEEE 802.3 Standard

Defines the physical layer and data link layer’s media access control (MAC) for wired Ethernet networks.


Twisted Pair Cable

A type of wiring in which two conductors of a single circut are twisted together.

Coaxil (Coax) Cable

Consists of a single copper conductor at it’s core, with an insulating layer and a conductive shield covering.

Twinaxial Cable

Often a component of a dac assembly and is considered as another specialized form of cabling.

Plenum Cables

Designed with fire-retardant plastic jackets made from amterials such as PVC or FEP.

A Level Computer Science Paper 1: 1.3.2 Databases Part 2

Normalisation is the process of structuring a database to reduce redundancy and improve data integrity. It involves organizing data into tables that meet specific rules—starting with First Normal Form (1NF) and Second Normal Form (2NF)—to ensure each field depends fully on the primary key and that data is stored efficiently.

Non-plenum Cables

Not designed with the same stringent fire-retardant properties and are therefore not suitable for use in plenum spaces.
