NETWORK CABLES

  Network Cables

There are three types of cables available .


1.Coaxial cable

RG-8 (Thick Net)

Mainly used in BUS networks.

Thicknet cables had a thick outer coating which made it difficult to handle and it used the AUI connector (Vampire Tap)

It has a speed of  10 mbps and  support upto 100 nodes.

RG-58 (Thin Net)

This has a thinner coating which made it easier to handle.

It use the BNC connector.

It has a speed of 10mbps and support upto 30 computers.


2.Twisted pair cable

There are two types:

I.UTP 

II.STP

This is used in STAR network.

Twisted Pair cable came in different categories and each categories has a different speed and number of pairs.

Name                          Speed                          Number of pairs

CAT 1                           1 mbps                                1 pair           

CAT 2                            4mbps                               1 pair           

CAT 3                             10mbps                            2 pairs         

CAT 4                             16mbps                             3 pairs         

CAT 5                              100mbps                          4 pairs         

CAT 5E                           1000mbps                         4 pairs        

CAT 6                            4 to10gbps                           4 pairs       


3.Optic Fiber

This can transfer data in form of light signals.

Light signals are totally immune to EMI, and it can travel great distance in high distance in high speeds.

This cable is mainly used for long distance connections.

We require special training for handling and installing these cables.


Cable                                                              Distance                   

RG-8                                                             500 m (central cable)      

RG-58                                                            185 m (central cable)     

UTP/STP                                                        100m (computer to HUB)

Fiber optic                                                            2 km and higher

As a highly developed country, they can be the best choice for the immigrants from all around the world and can offer a high standard life to them. However, immigrants face various difficulties during the first years of their entrance in to the developed country . Language barrier, finding a job and the cultural differences are the most common challenges.  Language barrier is the first challenge for the immigrants. It will be very hard for them to communicate with others. Even though most of immigrants spend lots of time and money to learn English before moving to developed country, it will not be very easy for them to use their language skills in every day’s life. Since developed country, has a divers population, it will be hard for the immigrants to understand the different accents of native speakers. Also it takes a long time to learn all th...

  What is Linux Shell? In Linux and Unix, a shell refers to a program that is used to interpret the typed commands the user sends to the operating system.  The closest analogy in windows is  MS-DOS, Shell name is COMMAND.COM which is also used for same purpose, but it's not as powerful as our Linux Shells are! Computer understand the language of 0's and 1's called binary language. In early days of computing, instruction are provided using binary language, which is difficult for all of us, to read and write. So in OS there is special program called Shell. Shell accepts your instruction or commands in English (mostly) and if its a valid command, it is pass to kernel.   Shell is a user program or it's environment provided for user interaction. Shell is an command language interpreter that executes commands read from the standard input device (keyboard) or from a file. Shell is not part of system kernel, but uses the system kernel to execute pr...

Permission and Ownership using awk

Awk programming The easiest way to learn the awk command usage is to see them in action. In order to find the working directory we are in . Type pwd ( "print working directory" ) Then type ls ( listing)for listing to see what's in the current directory $ ls Permissions and Ownership List directories and files ls -al # shows something like this for each file/dir: drwxrwxrwx # d: directory # rwx: read write execute # first triplet: user permissions (u) # second triplet: group permissions (g) # third triplet: world permissions (o)     It shows like this when we type   $ls -al   drwxr-xr-x 2 prakash prakash 4096 Oct 27 03:56 Videos drwxr-xr-x 2 prakash prakash 4096 Nov 18 10:19 .vim -rw------- 1 prakash prakash 11158 Dec 16 18:54 .viminfo -rw------- 1 prakash prakash 124 Dec 16 18:11 .Xauthority -rw------- 1 prakash prakash 82 Dec 16 18:11 .xsession-errors Assign write and execute permission...
