SPECIALIZED CABLES
ETHERNET
Description of purpose: No computer can connect to a network without an Ethernet cable, it is the network adapter that provides the physical address of the computer on
the network and converts computer data into a signal suitable for transmission
over cable. Its role is to connect network adapters together and this forms the
network.
How it communicates with other components: Networking allows one computer to send and receive information to another computer on computer networks, network technologies can belong to two basic groups, Local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN) the Ethernet can connect a number of devices that are kilometres apart.
