TECHNICAL TERMS
 NETWORKING CABLE INSTALLATION

are networking hardware used to connect one network device to other network
devices or to connect two or more computers to share printers, scanners etc.
Different types of network cables, such as coaxial cable, optical fiber cable,
and twisted pair cables, are used depending on the network's physical
layer, topology, and size. The devices can be separated by a few meters (e.g.
via Ethernet) or nearly unlimited distances (e.g. via the interconnections of
the Internet).
 COPPER CABLE SPLICING AND CABLE TESTING

Spread the four pairs of twisted wire apart. For Cat 5e, you can use the pull string to
strip the jacket farther down if you need to, then cut the pull string. Cat 6 cables
have a spine that will also need to be cut. To make sure you've successfully
terminated each end of the cable, use a cable tester to test each pin.
 COMPUTER NETWORKS CONCEPTS

A network can be defined as a group of computers and other devices connected in
some ways so as to be able to exchange data. -Each of the devices on the network can
be thought of as a node; each node has a unique address. -Addresses are numeric
quantities that are easy for computers to work with, but not for humans to
remember. Example: 204.160.241.98
