Common Networking Cables
• Ethernet Cable is one of the most popular forms
of network cable used on wired networks. Ethernet cables connect devices on local area networks such as PCs, routers, and switches. Ethernet cable is a Twisted pair it is a type of copper cabling that is used for telephone communications and most Ethernet networks. A pair of wires forms a circuit that transmits da-ta. The pair is twisted to provide protection against crosstalk, the noise generated by adjacent pairs of wires in the cable. The two basic types of twisted-pair cables • Shielded twisted pair - is the cable that has two or four pairs of wires. • Unshielded twisted pair - each pair of wire is wrapped in metallic foil to better shield the wires from noise Network Topologies
• A topology is basically a map of a
network. The physical topology of a network describes the layout of the cables and workstations and the location of all network components. • Bus Topology - is a network architecture/map in which the clients are connected via a bus/shared communications line. Ring Topology - is a network architecture in which each client connects to exactly two other nodes, forming a circular path for data signals. • Star Topology - are one of the most common computer network architecture using UTP cable wire. A star network consists of one central switch, hub or computer which acts as a center hub to transmit data signals. • • Mesh Topology - is a network architecture in which all possible path is connected to all nodes or clients, forming like a wire mesh. It allows continuous connections and rerouting around disconnected paths by hopping from node to node until the destination is reached. • Fill in the blanks.
