What are the most cabling methods for local networks?
The most popular cabling these days is Ethernet.
What is the most common Ethernet frame type used on modern networks?
Ethernet_II Network + Guide to Networks (version 5) pg. 217
What is the most popular media option for the Ethernet networks?
CAT 5 Cable and RJ 45 Cable (Twisted-pair Ethernet). Unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable
True or false most Ethernet networks are based on the star topology?
True. At the center of the star is a hub, or a switch.
What is the most popular transmition media for wired Ethernet networks is?
CAT 5, CAT 5e or CAT 6, depending on whether you're building a new one, or just mean in general.
What is the most popular transmission medium option for wired Ethernet networks is?
The most popular is probably Cat5e Unshielded twisted pair (UTP). Cat6 has begun to supplant this in new installations.
What is the Ethernet port technically called?
most technicians and other people refere to it as a "nic"
Is Ethernet faster then ADSL?
Even a slow Ethernet network would be faster than ADSL, since 10baseT LAN networks run at 10 Mbps. An ADSL connection typically tops out at around 8 Mbps. However, if you are talking about throughput, then they might be very close, since Ethernet has problems with packet collision. Then again, most Ethernet networks today for LANs run at 100 Mbps, which would place it far faster than ADSL based on speed measurements. However, ADSL does not use the same transmission method as Ethernet, but Ethernet will still be faster than ADSL (especially if you consider the Gigabit speeds).
What does the word Ethernet stand for?
= = Ethernet is a computer networking technology used for local area networks (LAN). It involves wiring computers together alowing them to share information. The ethernet adapter talks other computer hardware to allow data to be seen in more then one place at the same time. Most of your broadband internet connections use ethernet techknlolgy. Computers that are connected to one another are likely using ethernet techknology to comunicate with each other.
What are the two most commonly used media types in Ethernet networks today?
1. Copper UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) 2. Optical Fiber
What network is used in school network?
I assume you are talking about network topology. I have worked in several schools in a couple school districts. Some older school networks were setup on a token ring. I think it would be safe to assume that most networks are now a star topology using ethernet.
How do you join 2 computers to share files one on the net by wireless the other not on net?
Wired networks, also commonly known as Ethernet networks, are the easiest and most reliable way to connect your computer to a network. Windows XP automatically configures wired networks, and all you need to do is connect your computer to your network equipment using a network cable.
