NETWORK INTERFACE CARD
A network interface card (NIC) is a hardware component without which a

computer cannot be connected over a network. It is a circuit board installed in a
computer that provides a dedicated network connection to the computer. It is also
called network interface controller, network adapter or LAN adapter.
Purpose
 NIC allows both wired and wireless communications.
 NIC allows communications between computers connected via local area

network (LAN) as well as communications over large-scale network through
Internet Protocol (IP).
 NIC is both a physical layer and a data link layer device, i.e. it provides the
necessary hardware circuitry so that the physical layer processes and some data
link layer processes can run on it.
Networking cables are networking hardware used to connect one network
device to other network devices or to connect two or more computers to share
printers, scanners etc. Different types of network cables, such as coaxial cable,
optical fiber cable, and twisted pair cables, are used depending on the network's
physical layer, topology, and size. The devices can be separated by a few meters
(e.g. via Ethernet) or nearly unlimited distances (e.g. via the interconnections of
the Internet).
Twisted pair
Twisted pair cabling is a form of wiring in which pairs of wires (the forward and
return conductors of a single circuit) are twisted together for the purposes of
canceling out electromagnetic interference (EMI) from other wire pairs and from
external sources. This type of cable is used for home and corporate Ethernet
networks. Twisted pair cabling is used in short patch cables and in the longer
runs in structured cabling.
Fiber optics
An optical fiber cable consists of a center glass core surrounded by several
layers of protective material. Optical fiber deployment is more expensive than
copper but offers higher bandwidth and can cover longer distances.[2] There are
two major types of optical fiber cables: shorter-range multi-mode fiber and long-
range single-mode fiber.
Coaxial
Coaxial cables form a transmission line and confine the electromagnetic wave
inside the cable between the center conductor and the shield. The transmission
of energy in the line occurs totally through the dielectric inside the cable between
the conductors. Coaxial lines can therefore be bent and twisted (subject to limits)
without negative effects, and they can be strapped to conductive supports
without inducing unwanted currents in them.
Patch
A patch cable is an electrical or optical cable used to connect one electronic
device to another towards building infrastructure for signal routing. Devices of
different types (e.g. a switch connected to a computer, or a switch connected to a
router) are connected with patch cables. Patch cables are usually produced in
many different colors so as to be easily distinguishable,[1] and most are relatively
short, no longer than a few meters. In contrast to on-premises wiring, patch
cables are more flexible.
UTP stands for Unshielded Twisted Pair cable. UTP cable is a 100 ohm copper
cable that consists of 2 to 1800 unshielded twisted pairs surrounded by an outer
jacket. They have no metallic shield. This makes the cable small in diameter but
unprotected against electrical interference. The twist helps to improve its
immunity to electrical noise and EMI.
Both shielded twisted pair (STP) and unshielded twisted pair (UTP) have
interference canceling capacities, however the way that each one is designed to
cancel the interference is different. Interference caused by power lines, radar
systems or other high power electromagnetic signals, called noise, can cause an
imbalance in the current flowing through the shield or conductors of the cables
which interferes with the signal.
Power lines
Although AC power wires are not designed for networking applications, power
line communication (PLC) allows these wires to also be used to interconnect
home computers, peripherals or other networked consumer products. The
HomePlug protocol family was an early PLC technology. In December 2008, the
ITU-T adopted Recommendation G.hn/G.9960 as the first worldwide standard for
high-speed powerline communications.[3] G.hn also specifies techniques for
communications over the existing category 3 cable used by phones and coaxial
cable used by cable television in the home.
Raceway
(sometimes referred to as a raceway system) is an enclosed conduit that forms
a physical pathway for electrical wiring. Raceways protect wires and cables from
heat, humidity, corrosion, water intrusion and general physical threats.
raceways generally mount on a wall in a room where power and

communications cables are terminated. Cable trays are usually overhead or
under raised floors but carry open wiring. They are used to distribute cables from
the source to the point of use.
WD Series wiring duct is the premium wire management product for routing and
organizing wiring in control panels. Wire duct is one of the cable management
products developed specifically for use within cabinets and control panels. These
wiring ducts come in a variety of sizes and colors to meet the specific needs of
the largest integrated turnkey systems, to the small control panel projects.
