What is Network Cabling?
Cable is the medium through which data is transmitted from one network device to another. There are several types of cables, which are commonly used with LANs. The growth of Local Area Networks (LANs) and client server computing has produced a great increase in the amount of cabling used.
In many cases, a network 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. Also the common transmission losses such as attenuation have to be taken care of while choosing the type of cable used.
