How do you connect a computer to the network via cabling?
Connections to a network depend on the topology and cable type you are using. If we take the most common connection it is via UTP (unshielded twisted pair) cabling, utilizing an RJ-45 connector. This connector takes 8 wires in a modular connection on the cable.Plug one end of the cable into a network interface card on your PC, and the other end to a network connection, which may be a switch, router, hub, etc. The EIA/TIA structured cabling guidelines 568A/B will tell you much more about these types of connections.
Which on of the following answers is most accurate about the cabling of a typical modern ethernet lan?
Connect each device to a centralized LAN switch using UTP cabling
What type of switch and over what type of cabling are workstation connections funneled into in a hierarchical star network?
You can create a hierarchial network using pretty much any type of networking equipment. No special equipment is required or needed, although if you are building a massive network, do consider at least Gbit interfaces and thus CAT6 cables.
Differentiante between cross cabling and straight cabling?
Straight Cable is used to connect a device to a different type of devices Eg: PC to a Switch PC to a Hub Switch to a Router E.t.c. Cross Cable is used to connect a device to a similar type of devices Eg: PC to PC Switch to Switch E.t.c.
What type of cable is used in most star networks physical medium?
Rj-45 is the most common type of cabling. RJ-45 refers to the terminator (connector) on the end of the cable, and the jack it plugs into--more specifically RJ-45M and RJ-45F, respectively. The associated cabling will be CAT(category)-5 or CAT-5e(enhanced), which are in the class of Unshielded Twisted Pair. A star network is typified by the hub or switch, with a cable running from it to every device on the network. Other cabling might be used, but CAT-5 is far and away most common.
Which transmission media is LEAST susceptible to eavesdropping?
Fiber optic cablingAnswer Explanation: Unlike coaxial cabling, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cabling, and shielded twisted pair (STP) cabling, fiber optic cabling is not susceptible to eavesdropping. An eavesdropper would have to actually cut the line and tap into the fiber optic cable with a highly complex form of optical T-connector. This would interrupt the connection, which should immediately trigger an alarm.The "Unshielded twisted pair cabling" and "Shielded twisted pair cabling" options are incorrect. Twisted pair cabling is susceptible to eavesdropping because information is transmitted through the cable via electrical pulses, which emit small amounts of electromagnetic radiation. An eavesdropper could intercept communications with the proper equipment.The "Coaxial cabling" option is incorrect. Coaxial cabling is susceptible to eavesdropping because anyone can tap into it and add an unauthorized device. Since connections to the network cannot be controlled by a switch or hub, there is no way to prevent unauthorized connections. An intruder can tap into the network with either a basic T-connector or vampire tap.
Type of cabling connecting each work station to the switch?
Twisted pair cable (RJ45)
Will I need both a network hub and a network switch to set up my small network?
You can use either a network hub or a network switch to set up your network
Is switch network device?
Yes, switch as well as hub and router are network devices.
How do you wire a network?
Ethernet is the standard now, so Cat5e or better cabling is the way to go. All workstation/phone endpoints should be wired back to a central closet that will contain the Ethernet switch. Maximum cable distance is 300 feet.
What is a network hub switch?
it is a switch in hubs
What is the difference between vertical and horizontal cabling?
Vertical Cabling - Runs between floor to floor. It is used for Core to Distribution (or Access) switch connectivity. Usually consists of fiber cables Horizontal Cabling - Runs on one floor. Runs from Distribution or Access switches to the end user. Usually copper.
