NETWORK WIRING Ways of connecting network are physical wire or wireless.Wiring is critical to performance.Post building wiring is more difficult.

FIBRE OPTIC It caries data in the form of light It is the fastest and most expensive It consist of a core,a glass tube and a rubbersized jacket There are two types single-mode and multi-mode. TWISTED PAIR There are two types unshielded and shielded.It is copper based. FEATURES:1]It has 4 pairs of wire 2]Each pair are twisted around each other.[to cancel EMI] 3]The pairs are twistwd together 4]Max. run length=100m.Repeaters can be used for extension 5]Bundled with covering COMPOSITE CABLE Best wiring value and expansion compatibility Combines;Cat5 or Cat6 Other transmission cables;Single PVC jacket,Tap the line.futureproof version,Cat5 or Cat6,RG6,Fibre optic CABLE DESCRIPTON RG-58U Solid copper core RG-58A/U Standard wire core RG-58C/U Militory specification of RG-58A/U RG-59 Broadband transmission such as cable television RG-6 Larser in diameter and rated for higher COAXIAL It consist of core,layer of plastic or rubber,layer of braided wire or foil and also has an outside insulating layer. TYPES:Earthnet RG-58(Radio Grade),low power and RF signal,RG-59,cable TV RG-6,Earthnet backbone RG-8 and Rg-11. DUPLEX SINGLE:Its data is transmitted in a single direction. HALF :It can transmit data in both direction but one at a time. FULL :Data are transmitted in both direction at the same time.eg Cat5a SERIAL Direct cable connection between two computers Null modem cable;transmits and receives,lines on the ends are reversed RS232 connectors we have the 9pin or 28 pin WIRELESS LAN Uses radio wave or infrared light Wireless NIC with antena Convensent were physical cable aren't Devise communicate directly or with LAN through WAP. BENEFITS OR DRAWBACK OF LAN Increased flexibility and mobility Supports network where difficult to run physical cables Security is a problem
