Cable in Network is like vein in human body because it is the medium through which all information transmits. There are various types of cable. Selection of cable needs some consideration such as cost, protocol, network topology etc.Read more
How to Make Single PC/Laptop to PC/Laptop LAN Wiring
In order to communicate with one pc or laptop to another two things need to be happening. One is data transmission and another is data reception. In single PC to PC network no Hub or Switch is needed. Because there are only two network Interface card (NIC) and point to point connection is possible without having anything. Read more
The Crossover connectionsThere are two cabling method available, straight through and cross cable connection. Crossed cable is used in a LAN network to connect switch/Hub to switch/Hub or a single PC to PC connection. Normally two different types of cross cable connection are seen in a LAN network. Read more
The difference among various LAN standards lies on their way of communication. The most popular and common standards are 10base-2, 10base-5, 10base-T2, 100base-TX, 1oobase-T4, 100base-T2, 1000base-T etc. Read more
There are various types of LAN standards. They all have some basic differences in the area of speed, range, capacity and many other things. For selecting a LAN standard that is perfect for you for now and for the future, needs some knowledge about them. Read more
Now a day’s normally we use 5e or 6 categories UTP cable for 10mb, 100mb or Gigabit LAN setup. The cable conductor can be both solid or strand.................n a common LAN setup two types of cable connection needed. One is straight through cable and the other is crossed cable. Though the modern switch and Hubs can auto sense the cable connection type but you still need the old convention if your system use old instrument. Read more
Introduction to Power over Ethernet (PoE)
It is an IEEE802.3af Standard defined in 2003 for supplying low voltage power to networked devices through the communications line. It was defined as Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) Power via Media Dependant Interface (MDI). But it is now a day most commonly referred as Power over Ethernet (POE).....The basic idea of Power over Ethernet (PoE) is, for providing uninterrupted network the end devices must be powered up.

When talking about topologies, sometime beginners confused with the physical and logical topologies of network. Simply Network’s physical topology means the physical connection scheme or cabling scheme among network devices. On the other hand logical topology handles the communication scheme through physical topology. Read more
These are most common words uttered when we talk about network. Sometime we confuse our self which for what. This is because all the four have some similarity but they are not same. To understand a network we need understand about their working principle. Read more
