Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

The most often used UTP cable for voice and data wiring.

Answer to Problem 1RQ

Category 5e cable.

Explanation of Solution

The old telephone cable “quad wire” has been used previously to wire telephone jacks in residential applications which are stopped by ANSI/TIA/EIA 570-C instead they recommend using a four-pair UTP cable such as CAT 5e.

The CAT 5e is also called Category 5 Enhanced or Category 5e cable. It gives improved performance such as faster speed of transfer and thecapability to navigate distances without being obstructed by crosstalk. It generally consists of 24-gauge twisted pair wires that can support Gigabit networks at segment distances up to 100 m. It contains a bandwidth of 100 MHz and it can transmit or receive at 100 Mbps data speed.

Thus, the most often used UTP cable is Category 5e cable.

It proposed to provide pile foundation for a heavy column; the pile group consisting of 4 piles, placed at 2.0 m centre to centre, forming a square pattern. The under-ground soil is clay, having Cu at surface as 60 kN/m², and at depth 10 m, as 100 kN/m². Compute the allowable column load on the pile cap with factor of safety of 3.0, if the piles are circular having diameters 0.5 m each and length as 10 m.
A 12 m long and 300 mm diameter concrete pile is driven in a uniform deposit of sand (p = 36°). The water table is very much down and is not likely to rise in future. The average dry unit weight of sand is 18 kN/m². Calculate the safe load capacity of the pile with factor of safety of 2.5. (use K-1.5 and 8=0.75 q). If the allowable load is increased by 20% what will be the length of the pile.
