Network Cables and Connectors
The main reason why we set up a network is for easy transfer of digital information from one computing device to another. We can set up a network in two forms: either wireless or wired. For wired network, we make use of some cables that are linked together by connectors to facilitate communication. Also for wireless, infrared, or radio-frequency transmitters are used to enhance communication but they are usually low speed compared to wired networks.
Cables
A cable is the medium through which information transverses from one network device to another. There are several types of cable which are commonly used with Local Area Networks (LANs).
1. Twisted Pair:
It is a type of wiring in which two conductors are twisted together for the purposes of cancelling out electromagnetic interference (EMI) form external sources.
