    Networking Cable

                  Networking cable also known as Ethernet cable is a transmission medium that
                  allows to transport information from one computer to another. There are various
                  types of networking cables such as coaxial cable, twisted pair cable and optical
                  fiber cable.                                                                            Ethernet cable

                                                Gateway

                                                Gateway is a network device that allows the data to flow between two
                                                different networks which may use different protocols. It collects data that
                            Gateway             is to be sent from one computer, converts it into small packets and then
                                                sends them to another computer.

                        TYPES OF NETWORKS

                  Networks can be classified on the basis of geographical area they cover.

                  There are five types of networks. Let's learn about them.

                  LAN (Local Area Network)
                  LAN is a short form of Local Area Network. It is a digital communication system that interconnects a
                  large number of computers and other peripheral devices within a limited geographical area. This type
                  of network is usually preferred for a smaller area such as a residence, school, laboratory, university
                  campus or office building. By using the LAN network, users can exchange data and messages in the
                  easy and fast way. Cables and communication devices are used to connect computers to the LAN.

                                                                           Workstation

                                                                                    Server
