Network Equipment Basics

Networks provide the obvious benefit of making it easy for PCs to share files, but that's just one of the pluses. Computers on a network can also share certain peripherals, such as CD-ROM drives and printers, so you don't need several complete--and expensive--systems to get started. You can map a hard drive to the network, letting separate computers run applications from one location, without having to install the software on each computer.

How to Make Your Own Cat 5 Twisted-Pair Network Cables

The purpose of this article is to show you how to make the two kinds of cables which can be used to network two or more computers together to form quick and simple home or small office local area networks (LANs). These instructions can also be used to make patch cables for networks with more complex infrastructure wiring.

 

Cabling

Cable is the medium through which information usually moves from one network device to another. There are several types of cable which are commonly used with LANs. In some cases, a network will utilize only one type of cable, other networks will use a variety of cable types. The type of cable chosen for a network is related to the network's topology, protocol, and size. Understanding the characteristics of different types of cable and how they relate to other aspects of a network is necessary for the development of a successful network.

 

 

Cabling Types

Twisted Pair (STP and UTP)

 

Wire Your Home with Network Cable

If you have ever run AC wire, phone wire or cable TV wire through your house, then you've already mastered the hard part of running Ethernet, or UTP, cable. The process is the same: gather the tools and materials, select the location of your "outlets", run the cable through the walls (the hard part, of course) and make the final wiring connections at the outlet boxes.

How to Wire a Network

Twisted-pair (sometimes known as 10BaseT) is ideal for small, medium, or large networks that need flexibility and the capacity to expand as the number of network users grows.
