  1. Cabling Technology and Standards

  2. Networks • Data Communication • Transfer of digital data between between 2 or more remotely attached autonomous systems in a reliable and understandable manner

  3. Networks • Network – data communication between 2 or more devices with the ability to access shared resources • LAN - local area network • WAN - wide area network

  4. Networks Topologies Bus Ring Star

  5. Networks Components • Hubs • Switches • Routers

  6. Networks Components (Cont.) Hub connects multiple devices on same network via individual dedicated cable runs (star topology) Switch provides a dedicated communication channel between network devices

  7. Networks Components (Cont.) • Router connects between entities residing on different networks
