a _ is a set of computer or devices connected to each other with the ability to exchange data.
computer network
is the arrangement of the elements of a communication network?
Network topology
It is usually a small network constrained to small geographic area.
Local area network (LAN)
A computer network in which the computers connected may be far apart, generally having a radius of half a mile or more.
wide area network (WAN)
is a wireless distribution method for two or more devices that use high-frequency radio waves and often include an access
Wireless Local Area Network or WLAN
The term is applied to the interconnection of networks in a city into a single larger network.
metropolitan area network
is a computer network for interconnecting devices centered on an individual person’s workspace.
Personal Area Network (PAN)
is a network topology in which nodes are directly connected to a common linear half-duplex link.
A bus network
is a network configuration in which device connections create a circular data path.
Ring topology
In this configuration, every node connects to a central network device, like a hub, switch, or computer.
Star topology
A network setup where each computer and network device are interconnected with one another, allowing for most transmissions to be distributed even if one of the connections go down.
mesh topology
Is a node that broadcasts data to every computer or Ethernet-based device connected to it
network hub
a device that is used at the Access or OSI Layer 2; also, can be used to connect multiple hosts (PCs) to the network
Switch hub
A router is a device that analyzes the contents of data packets transmitted within a network or to another network.
Router
a device that performs the functions of a router and also includes the functions of a wireless access point. It is used to provide access to the Internet or a private computer network.
wireless router
a type of connector commonly used for Ethernet networking.
RJ45 connector
wiring pattern is recognized as the preferred wiring pattern for this standard because it provides backward compatibility to both one pair and two pair USOC wiring schemes.
T568a
standard matches the older ATA&T 258A color code and is/was (?) the most widely used wiring scheme. It is also permitted by the ANSI/TIA/EIA standard, but it provides only a single pair backward compatibility to the USOC wiring scheme.
t568b
cable is a type of CAT where one end is T568A configuration and the other as T568B configuration.
Pin 1 is crossed with Pin 3 and Pin 2 is crossed with Pin 6.
crossover
A popular type of cable that consists of two unshielded wires twisted around each other.
utp
This Category cable is used in structured cabling for computer networks such as Ethernet over twisted pair.
The cable standard provides performance of up to 100 MHz and is suitable for 10BASE-T
Cat5
This Category cable is used in structured cabling for computer networks such as Ethernet over twisted pair.
The cable standard provides performance of up to 100 MHz and is suitable for 100BASE-TX
cat5e
This Category cable is used in structured cabling for computer networks such as Ethernet over twisted pair.
The cable standard provides performance of up to 100 MHz and is suitable for 1000BASE-T.
cat6
Refers to the planning of the implementation of a computer network infrastructure.
Network design
