2. Definition of the network.
The types of the networks.
What is the network interface card?
What is the network cabling?
Deferent types of network cables.

3. A network is a collection
of computers, servers,
network devices, or other
devices connected to one
another to allow the
sharing of data.

4. Two very common types of networks include:
• Local Area NetworkLAN
• Wide Area NetworkWAN

5. Local Area Network
A Local Area Network (LAN) is a network
that is confined to a relatively small area.
It is generally limited to a geographic area
such as a school, or building.

6. Wide Area Network
Connect networks in larger geographic
areas, such as Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, or
the world.
Dedicated cabling may be used to
connect this type of global network like
internet.

7. The network interface card (NIC)
provides the physical connection
between the network and the computer
workstation.
Network interface cards are a major
factor in determining the speed and
performance of a network.

8. The most common network interface connections
wireless
adapters
Ethernet
cards

11. • Cable is the medium through which
information usually moves from one
computer device to another.
• There are several types of cable
which are commonly used with
LANs.
What is Network Cabling?

12. The following sections discuss the types of
cables used in networks and other related topics.
Twisted Pair Cable
Coaxial Cable
Fiber Optic Cable

13. Twisted pair cabling comes in two kind
UTP
Unshielded twisted pair
STP
Shielded twisted pair

14. UTP
• is the most popular and is generally the
best option for networks.
UTP
• standard connector for unshielded twisted
pair cabling is an RJ-45 connector.
UTP
• cable is not only used for networking but
also for the telephone.

15. unshielded
twisted pair
RJ-45

16. STP
• is a special kind of copper telephone wiring.
• An outer covering or shield is added to the ordinary
twisted pair telephone wires.
STP
• is used in Ethernet networks, especially fast
data rate Ethernets.
STP
• can also help to extend the maximum
distance of the cables.

17. shielded
twisted pair
RJ-45

18. Network: is a sharing
the data, like internet
Type of the network
are: LAN & WAN
Type of the network
cards are: Ethernet
cards and wireless
adapters.
Types of Ethernet cables
are: Twisted Pair Cable,
Coaxial Cable and Fiber
Optic Cable
Twisted pair cabling
comes in two kind are:
UTP & STP
