Can Anyone give me sites or links that will tell what type of cable I need to use for Voice Over IP? Any help will be welcomed.
Thanks,
John WhiteheadA green one.
no no – Tom is mistaking. It’s a blue one with dots at the end. You can get it at http://www.cable.com
Very funny people. What I’m asking is what type of cable do I run to set up my company to use Voice Over IP (i.e. Cat 3 , Cat 4, Cat 5, Cat 5e, etc). I would like responses that could help me not garbage.
Thanks,
JohnGarbage in; garbage out.
But seriously…
It’s a question that cannot be answered. Voice over IP only defines a transmission system down to layer 3 of the OSI model. Layer 2 can be anything. It could be Ethernet, PPP or Token Ring. These layer 2 (link layer) protocols in turn have different options for layer 1 (physical layer), and this effects the cabling requirements.
For example, IF you use Ethernet (and you don’t have to), you could use CAT 5 cables or coaxial. As long as they both meet Ethernet’s requirements, they’ll work for VoIP.
So, you see, your question cannot be answered.
just remember to stick with green cables, and learn how to spell WIRING ;-)…
…and remember that us Europeans have a different sense of humour to you Americans.Hey Tom, how did you figure out that John is american????
Now I feel insulted.At least I have the excuse that Inglish is my third language.
About your sense of humor……….I like it!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whatch out for those american made aerial manholes.Only a guess. I may be wrong.
But _garbage_ is an American word. The English translation is _rubbish_. That’s what we say here in “OLD Europe”.
Keep smiling 🙂
I must say that reading this posting is a good way to start my day.
We Canadians are caught in the middle with influence from both side of rubbish and garbage – I think we need to invent our own term. How does “garbish” sound?
Do not take regions/continents/countries too seriously.I have european grandparents,south american parents,american daughters and will like to live either in Canada or Europe.
And still unable to figure out the proper pronunciation of the word “router” or “without” or “checkout” when I visit Vancouver.
Best regards!!!!!You can find everithing about cabling at this site:
