Ethernet Cable

Is a type of cable commonly used in high-speed wired computer networks. Ethernet connections must be connected to an Ethernet card in a computer.

Ethernet Cable -

A type of cable made of super-thin filaments of glass or other transparent materials that can carry beams of light. Data can be sent at the speed of light. A laser transmitter encodes frequency signals into pulses of light: ones and zeros are sent through the cable. The receiving end of the transmission translates the light signals back into data which can be read by a computer. The beams of light are less susceptible to noise and interference than other cables.

Fiber Optic

Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) Features

Found in Ethernet and phone systems Most common type of cable used for computer networks. Used for short to medium distances (up to 100 meters) Not shielded against EMI or other interference

Shielded twisted pair (STP) Features

Found in Ethernet and phone systems Shielded to protect against EMI More costly than UTP Used for short to medium distances (up to 100M)

Is a computer that manages tasks, communicates instructions, or delivers specific services to other computers, or clients, on a network.

Host. Also Know as Conputer, Terminal, Node. Hosts include computers, mobile phone, scanners, and printers. Expanded

What the router use to determine the pathway?

IP Address

A company that has a permanent connection to the Internet and can provide temporary access to its customers, individuals, and others.

ISP - A computer requires an ISP in order for communication software to work.

Advantages of Routers

Intelligent software that enables it to pass data quickly across the network

Network that consists of high speed network infrastructure at a single location used to deliver network applications and services. It devices over a short distance. often is used in an office building, a school or home, but can spread to several buildings.

Local area network (LAN) or Wireless local area network (WLAN)

Media Access Control

MAC - The MAC address is the hardware address of the NIC (Network Interface Card) on the end device.

Coaxial cable features

Max Cable Length is 200 meters (ThinNet) or 500 meters (ThickNet) Cost (Twisted Pair < Coaxial < Fiber Optic) Ease of Installation (Moderately difficult to install) Susceptible to EMI and RFI interference

Walker has connected a device to his computer that converts a computer's digital signal into frequencies that travel over telephone or television lines via coaxial cables. When the signal is received, the device converts the frequencies back into digital data that can be read by his computer.

Modem

Device that modulates signals to encode digital information and demodulates signals to decode the transmitted information

Modem. It comes from Modulator-Demodulator. A common type of modem is one that turns the digital data of a computer into modulated electrical signal for transmission over telephone lines and demodulated by another modem at the receiver side to recover the digital data.

Enables computers to interpret data received from a network.
