...background • As today’s networks expand, the demand for more bandwidth and greater distances increases. Gigabit Ethernet and the emerging 10-Gigabit Ethernet are becoming the applications of choice for current and future networking needs. • Thus, th...

...The same applies to networking cables. Sometimes it is just the last meter that is missing, but in many cases some kilometres are missing. A standard 10/100 or 10/100/1000 Copper RJ45 connection can be 100 meters long. To be honest, this is not ...

...to the display. • Non-networked CATx-based • This method uses transmitters and receivers to extend converted signals over non-networked UTP cabling. They’re very cost-effective, enabling much longer distances than what’s ordinarily possible with a...

...Now that your network is up and running it is time to consider what to do with the network. Surely you did not install a Layer III switch and DSL Modems running a 10 kilometer copper line to do some gaming. You are running an office. • The...

...copper cable for your network can be a daunting proposition. You have to consider many factors such as network equipment, available space, bandwidth specifications, total cost of ownership, future applications and cabling lifespan. • The Black Box...

...Interface (FDDI) is a networking standard developed in the early 1980s by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) for operating at speeds up to 100 Mbps. The standard FDDI network is set up in a ring topology with two rings that transmit ...
