Main types of Networks:
Personal Area Network (PAN)
- A PAN is a very small network that
usually consists of personal devices
that interconnect including; computers,
tablets, phones, Bluetooth headsets,
printers.
- The ways to connect can be through
cables, or wireless such as Bluetooth
or WI-FI
Main types of Networks:
Local Area Network (LAN)
- LANs are usually located in a single
room or a small building.
- LANs are private and can only be
accessed by people in the room or
building
- A typical LAN would consist of several
computers that are connected to each
other and can share resources such as
printers
Main types of Networks:
Wide Area Network
(WAN)
- WANs are made up computers and other
devices that are connected over a
large geographical area, such as
cities, countries, or the entire world.
- Ways of connecting can be through
telephone lines, fiber-optic cables,
or satellite signals

WI-FI and Internet:
Is WI-FI different from the
Internet?
- Yes, because WI-FI (Wireless
Fidelity) is just one way of
connecting to a network, while the
Internet is a type of network.

MODEM
– Modulator/demodulator
– A device that converts analog signal to
digital (modulation) and vice versa
(demodulation)
Modem

HUB/SWITCH/ROUTER
- These devices are used to connect multiple
segments of networks into a larger one.
Hub
– A multiport repeater to enhance signal
within the same LAN.
Switch
– Like hub but with intelligence.
– Better performance.
Router
– Forward packets from one LAN to another.

The Internet, World Wide Web, Websites,
and Webpages
- The Internet is a type of network, and the
largest in the world.
- The World Wide Web is one of the services
available on the internet wherein information is
presented in readable form such as in websites
- Websites are basically computers that are
connected to the Internet and present
information using webpages (Google,
Facebook, Yahoo!, etc.)
- Webpages make up Websites. They are like
pages of a book.

NETWORK CABLES
Network cables are hardware used to
connect one network device to other
network devices or to connect two or more
computers to share printers, scanners, etc.
A wide variety of networking cables are
available. Coaxial and twisted-pair cables
use copper to transmit data. Fiber-optic
cables use glass or plastic to transmit
data. These cables differ in bandwidth,
size, and cost.
 Networking Devices, Media and
Connector.
TWISTED PAIR
Twisted pair 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
data. The pair is twisted to provide protection
against crosstalk, the noise generated by
adjacent pairs of wires in the cable.
Pairs of copper wires are encased in color-
coded plastic insulation and are twisted
together.
An outer jacket protects the bundles of twisted
pairs.
 Networking Devices, Media and
Connector.
BASIC TYPES OF TWISTED PAIR CABLE:

Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) –

Has two or four pairs of wires.
Relies solely on the cancellation effect
produced by the twisted-wire pairs that
Limits signal degradation caused by
electromagnetic interface (EMI) and radio
frequency interference (RFI).
Most commonly used cabling in networks.
UTP cables have a range of 328 feet (100
m).

 Networking Devices, Media and

BASIC TYPES OF TWISTED PAIR CABLE:

Shielded twisted pair (STP)

Each pair of wire is wrapped in metallic foil to
better shield the wires from noise. Four pairs of
wires are then wrapped in an overall metallic braid
or foil.
STP reduces electrical noise from within the cable.
It also reduces EMI and RFI from outside the cable.
More expensive than UTP because of the extra
shielding.
It is also more difficult to install because of the
thickness. In addition, the metallic shielding must
be grounded at both ends.

TWISTED PAIR CATEGORY RATING
UTP comes in several categories that are based on two
factors:
The number of wires in the cable
The number of twists in those wires

Coaxial Cable
Coaxial cable is a copper-cored cable
surrounded by a heavy shielding.
Coaxial cable uses “British Naval
Connectors (BNC)” or “Bayonet Neill-
Concelman” connectors, at the ends of
the cables to make the connection.
Coaxial Cable
 Networking Devices, Media and
Several types of Connector.
coaxial cable exist:
Thicknet (10BASE5) is a coaxial cable
used in networks operating at 10 Mbps,
with a maximum length of 500 meters.
Thinnet (10BASE2) is a coaxial cable
used in networks operating at 10 Mbps,
with a maximum length of 185 meters.
RG-59 is most commonly used for
cable television in the U.S.
RG-6 is higher-quality cable than RG-
59, with more bandwidth and less
susceptibility to interference.

Fiber-Optic Cable
An optical fiber is a glass or plastic
conductor that transmits information
using light.
Fiber optic cable has one or more
optical fibers enclosed in a sheath or
jacket.
Because it is made of glass, fiber-optic
cable is not affected by EMI or RFI.
 Networking Devices, Media and
Connector.
Fiber-Optic Cable
All signals are converted to light pulses
to enter the cable and are converted back
into electrical signals when they leave it.
Fiber-optic cable can reach distances of
several miles or kilometers before the
signal needs to be regenerated.
Fiber-optic cable usually is more
expensive to use than copper cable, and
the connectors are more costly and
harder to assemble.
 Networking Devices, Media and
Connector.
These are the two types of glass fiber-
optic cable:
Multimode – is the cable that has a thicker
core than single-mode cable. It is easier to
make, can use simpler light sources such as
Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs), and works
well over distances of a few kilometers or
less.
Single-mode – is the cable that has a very
thin core. It is harder to make, uses lasers as
a light source, and can transmit signals
dozens of kilometers with ease.
