In a bus network all nodes are

Backbone Colum na connected to a com m on medium,
called back bone, as it
happens w ith Christmas lights.
Information sent along the
backbone travels until the
destination is reached.
The inner copper cable is insulated
Bending Doblez to protect the w ires from bending
and crushing and to reduce
the noises.
Coaxial cables consist of an inner
Coaxial Coaxial conductor insulated with plastic
and
surrounded by a w oven copper
shield. They are used in television
and
radio as these cables can support
about 60 channels.
They are used in systems such as
Dish Antena ( plato ) radio and television broadcasting,
radar, m obile phones, and satellite
com munications, for which they are
in form of dishes.
There are different types of
Pronosticador del clima satellites: low-orbit satellites, which
travel at about 300 km
Forecasting from the Earth and observe the
planet, providing accurate
information about agriculture,
pollution and weather
forecasting; m edium-altitude
satellites, which travel at
about 9000-18000 km from the Earth
and are used in
telecommun ications.
The only disadvantage to it is that if
To go dow n Debajo the hub goes down, the
w hole network doesn't work.
Star network m eans that all
To grant Otorgar com puters and devices are united.
This topology is commonly used in
enterprises because it can grant
speed and security in the exchange
of data.
In a star netw ork all nodes are
Hub Concentrador connected to a special central node
called the hub. Once it has received
a signal, the hub passes it to all the
other nodes until it reaches the
destination computer.

Inner Interno Coaxial cable is an inner conductor.

A network is a group of computers
To link Para vincular that are linked togeth
In a bus network all nodes are
To reach Para alcanzar connected to a com m on medium,
called backbone, as it happens with
Christmas lights. Information sent
along the backbone travels until the
destination is reached.
Telecommunication systems need
Receiver Receptor m eans for the transmission of any
 information, which is translated into
electromagnetic waves that connect
the transmitter to the receiver.
Sensing device Dispositvos de deteccion Signals travel along fibres with less
loss and w ithout any
electromagnetic interference. As
they permit transmission over
longer distances and at a higher
speed , they are used in
com munication systems, in some
m edical instruments and in a wid e
variety of sensing devices.
To share Com partir - Conectar The users of a network can share
hardware (scanner, printer, fax
m achine, etc.), access data in other
people's com puters and run other
programs stored in the network
although not installed on their own
com puter.
Shield Escudo

The inner conductor of the cable

has a copper shield around it

Strand Hebras Optical fibres are used in place of

sim ple copper wires to carry larger
am ounts of
information. They consist of strands
of pure glass as thin as a human
hair. Signals travel along fibres with
less loss and w ithout any
electromagnetic interference.
To surround A rodear

The coaxial cable is surrounded by

a copper fabric around it.

Token Sim bolo Ring network there is no central hub

that holds
all the data, and com munication is
sent in one direction
around the ring through the use of a
token .
Transmitter Transmicion Telecommunication systems need
m eans for the transmission of any
information, w h ich is translated
into electromagnetic w aves that
connect the transmitter to the
receiver.
To tw ist Torcer, retocer The simplest communication cables
consist of a single pair of wires
tw isted together. Other types are
coaxial cables and optical.
Up-to-date A hoy Thanks to this topology, data is
alw ays up-to-date and if a computer
doesn't work , it doesn't affect the
others.
