The document lists and describes several networking devices, including coaxial cable, fiber optic cable, twisted pair cable, modem, hub, switch, and router. It explains that coaxial cable contains two parallel conductors, fiber optic cable transmits data via light or electric signals, and twisted pair cable is made of twisted copper wires. The purpose of each networking device is also provided, such as that a modem modulates and demodulates digital and analog signals, a hub copies packets to connect devices, and a router combines components to connect and improve access to networks.

Enumerate all devices in this lesson and describe the purpose of each. 1.COAXIAL CABLE - it contains two conductors that are parallel to each other. And widely used example on TV 2.FIBER OPTICE CABLE - It uses light or electric signal to transmit a data 3. TWISTED PAIR CABLE - It was made using pair of solid or stranded copper cable twisted along each other. There are two types of twisted cable UTP AND STP. 4.MODEM - a combined device for modulation and demodulation, for example, between the digital data of a computer and the analog signal of a phone line. 5.HUB - a network connection point for devices. ... The hub contains several ports, and when a packet reaches one port, it is copied to the rest of the ports so that all parts of the LAN can view all the packets. 6.SWITCH - Just like hub it connects multiple computers within one local area (LAN) But hub was capable of inspecting data packets as they are received 7.ROUTER - A router receives and sends data on computer networks However, routers can combine all components that said earlier, and connect with these devices, to improve Internet access or help create business networks.
