What is parallel transmission?
Parallel transmission is a method of transmitting data where each bit in a byte is transmitted in an individual channel or wire, hence multiple bits can be sent at the same time.
Parallel transmission is often used internally in a computer since it is quick and the distances involved are short, as well as in devices such as disk drives, joysticks and a majority of printers. Parallel transmission, however, has the disadvantage of bits getting out or order when transmitted over a long distance. This is known as data skew.
The small form-factor pluggable (SFP) is a compact, hot-pluggable transceiver used for both telecommunication and data communications applications.

How many computer networking formats or protocols are there?
That's like asking "How many ways can you get from the library to the post office?". There is no limit. There may be only a few efficient ways for getting directly from the library to the post office, but if you want to go by the bank on the way, you will invent your own path. Anyone can create their own protocols. New ones are created every day and most of them are hardly ever used, or may only be used by one person. There are common ones that you hear about like FTP, SMTP, etc. For a list of those, look in the RFCs ( http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc-index.html ). I know one of them has a list of all the protocols. Not sure what it is, but I'll look that up and then post it here.

How do you make a wifi connection wired without using a computer at all?
You can turn wired connection in wireless. If you want to turn wireless connection in wired you will need a particular router for that. The only configuration I know capable of such thing is so called "bridge". Bridge allows to to extend signal, and because almost all routers have LAN switch built-in it technically converts a wireless signal in wired as well as wireless.
Is coaxial cable more susceptible to EMI than STC?
It's very hard to tell because both have shields. Last version of STP must be better than coaxial.
How can PING be used to check functionality of network hardware?
Successfully pinging the loopback address verifies that TCP/IP is installed and configured correctly on the local client.
