How is lan hardware connected?

The hardware is usually connected by cat5 or cat6 cables. The wall sockets that they are usually plugged into run to a switch or switches that enable them to connect via more cables to the patch panel where the servers are also connected. each item would have its own static IP address(or in some cases they would use DHCP to assign them) so it could be found on the lan. IP addresses allow the switches and routers to direct the input from the computers to the proper machine.

Why is a twisted pair cable is not used for LAN connectivity?

Twisted pair is less sensitive to noise and crosstalk as the two wires in the pair are so close together that they generally both pick up the disturbance identically, then the receiving circuit cancels this common mode disturbance out. Twisted pair is also much less expensive than fully shielded cables like coax.


How do you configurate network on five computers?

It depends on what kind of network you want to use. If you want to use usual home network you can purchase a wireless router and five wireless adapters one for each PC and connect all pcs to the wireless router.

If you want to have a network of industrial class you have to specify you question.
