Lesson 2 Types of Network Cable and Network Architecture

A computer network is a telecommunication system that enables data exchange between computers through cable or wireless connections. Various types of network cables, such as UTP, STP, coaxial, and fiber optic, serve different purposes and environments. Network architecture can be categorized into peer-to-peer and client/server models, determining how devices connect and share resources.

What is Computer Network?

• A computer network is a
telecommunication network that allows
computers to exchange data. The physical
connection between networked
computing devices is established using
either cable media or wireless media

What is a network cable?


Network cables are used to
connect one network device
to other network
devices or to connect two or
more computers to share
printers, scanners etc..
Types of network cable
1. Unshielded Twisted
Pair (UTP) Cable

A popular type of cable that


is commonly used for Local
Area Network. It has
two unshielded wires
twisted around each other.

2.Shielded Twisted
Pair (STP) Cable

The extra covering of the


STP Cable provides extra
protection to prevent
electromagnetic
interference.

3.Coaxial Cable
This cable commonly used in
television industries. The
metal shield surrounding the
cable helps block
interference from
fluorescence lights, motors,
and other computers.

Refers to the way network devices


and services are designed to serve
the connectivity needs of client
devices.

1.Peer-to-peer network
This consists of two or more
computers share files and access to
devices such as printers without
requiring a server computer.

2.Client/server network
A computer network in which one centralized,
powerful computer (called the server) is a hub
to which many less powerful personal
computers or workstations (called clients) are
connected. The clients run programs and access
data that are stored on the server.
UTP cable is one of the most common forms
of network cable used on wired networks.
Ethernet cables connect devices within a
local area network, like
PCs, routers, and switches.

These limits are one reason there are


different types of cables optimized to perform
certain tasks in particular situations.
