Commonly a FIBER cable will be used to do a vertical cross-connect.
fiber optic
coaxial cable
im going to assume your talking about computer networking which in this case would be RISER. In ceiling would be plenum
fiber-optic cabling it is. usually coax 'f' connector
A hub uses straight throught cabling from clients to the hub, and uses a cross-over cable with the up-link ports to connect hubs to hubs. Usually, the cabling is UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) wiring.
Straight Cable is used to connect a device to a different type of devices Eg: PC to a Switch PC to a Hub Switch to a Router E.t.c. Cross Cable is used to connect a device to a similar type of devices Eg: PC to PC Switch to Switch E.t.c.
Thinnet coax uses a BNC connector, which is a twist-on, twist-off connection used with a T-fitting.
The type of cabling used in houses is called Non Metallic Sheath Cabling.
In computer networking, the type of cabling that is easiest to install is coaxial cable. It is a light, inexpensive and flexible cable.
Connections to a network depend on the topology and cable type you are using. If we take the most common connection it is via UTP (unshielded twisted pair) cabling, utilizing an RJ-45 connector. This connector takes 8 wires in a modular connection on the cable.Plug one end of the cable into a network interface card on your PC, and the other end to a network connection, which may be a switch, router, hub, etc. The EIA/TIA structured cabling guidelines 568A/B will tell you much more about these types of connections.
Ethernet networking typically uses category 5 or category 6 cabling.
Cross connections in plumbing are any type of connection which is between the water and a source of contamination. This can cause the water supply to be contaminated.
