Network Media and Connectors :-
Now that you have learned that networks are built using a topology of bus, star, or ring, let's take a look at how the systems will be connected in the topology that you choose. Cabling is the medium for the transmission of data between hosts on the LANs . LANs can be connected together using a variety of cable types, such as u shielded twisted - pair, coax, or fiber. Each cable type has its own advantages and disadvantages, which you will examine in this section.
There are three primary types of cable media that can be used to connect systems to a network - coaxial cable, twisted -pair cable, and fiber - optic cable. Transmission rates that can be supported on each of these physical media are measured in millions of bits per second, or megabits per second (Mbps).
