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 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.
