The transmission media (often referred to in the literature as the physical medium) used to link devices to form a computer network include electrical cable, optical fiber, and free space. In the OSI model , the software to handle the media is defined at layers 1 and 2 — the physical layer and the data link layer.
Network media refers to the communication channels used to interconnect nodes on a computer network. Typical examples of network media include copper coaxial cable , copper twisted pair cables and fiber-optic cables used in wired networks, and radio waves used in wireless data communications networks.
For its physical layer 10BASE5 uses cable similar to RG-8/U coaxial cable but with extra braided shielding. This is a stiff, 0.375-inch (9.5 mm) diameter cable with an impedance of 50 ohms, a solid center conductor, a foam insulating filler, a shielding braid, and an outer jacket.
Networking devices includes a broad range of equipment which can be classified as core network components which interconnect other network components, hybrid components which can be found in the core or border of a network and hardware or software components which typically sit on the connection point of different networks.
Inside a gaming case during gameplay. 360° photograph. A full tower case. Accessories shown include: a fan controller, a DVD burner, and a USB memory card reader.. Cases can come in many different sizes and shapes, which are usually determined by the form factor of the motherboard since it is physically the largest hardware component in most computers. Consequently, personal computer form ...
A semiconductor package is a metal, plastic, glass, or ceramic casing containing one or more discrete semiconductor devices or integrated circuits.Individual components are fabricated on semiconductor wafers (commonly silicon) before being diced into die, tested, and packaged.
A transparent plastic housing around an electronic device. In engineering, a housing or enclosure is a container, a protective exterior (e.g. shell) or an enclosing structural element (e.g. chassis or exoskeleton) designed to enable easier handling, provide attachment points for internal mechanisms (e.g. mounting brackets for electrical components, cables and pipings), maintain cleanliness of ...
According to the defining IEEE 802.3 standards for Ethernet, a network segment is an electrical connection between networked devices using a shared medium. [2] In the original 10BASE5 and 10BASE2 Ethernet varieties, a segment would therefore correspond to a single coax cable and all devices tapped into it.
