well, UTP or STP cabling is used as a media for token ring networks.Token Ring uses an IBM cabling system based on American Wire Gauge (AWG) standards that specify wire diameters. The larger the AWG number, the small diameter the cable has.


Token ring networks normally use type 1, type 3 or regular UTP like cable used on ethernet installations. If electrical interference is a problem, the type 1 cable is a better choice.

Cable types:

1 Two 22 AWG solid core pair of STP cable with a braided shield. This cable is normally used between MAUs and computers.
2 Two 22 AWG solid core pair with four 26 AWG solid core of STP cable.
3 Four 22 or 24 AWG UTP cable. This is voice-grade cable and cannot transmit at a rate above 4Mbps.
4 Undefined.
5 Fiber-optic cable. Usually used to link MAUs.
6 Two 26 AWG stranded core pair of STP cable with a braided shield. The stranded-core allows more flexibility but limits the transmission distance to two-thirds that of type 1.
7 Undefined.
8 Type 6 cable with a flat casing to be used under carpets.
9 Type 6 cable with plenum-rating for safety.
