- 1RouterThe router is used to control the flow traffic. the router is specifically designed to manage incoming and outgoing data packs from computers and the cloud.
- 2Wireless RouterA wireless router is similar to a normal router, but the difference is that the devices works using radio signals, also known as wireless connections.
- 3SwitchA switch is used to control the destination of where the data terminates to and from. A switch is only used in a network where there are more than 6 computers. They stop data collisions.
- 4Coaxial CableThis is an old type of connection cable used to send data signals, for example, analogue TV signals to telephones. This is not widely used because it is limited in the speed of sending data and it is not environmentally friendly.
- 5Twisted CoaxialThis type of connection cable is still widely used in society as it is far more environmentally friendly compared to a normal coaxial cable. However, the speed of sending data is still to slow to manage broadband connection, this type of cable can also be affected by magnetic waves, but it is cheap.
- 6Fiber OpticFiber optic cabals are relatively new and are widely used in organisations and broadband connections. These types of cables use light to send data to and from the internet. The speed of light is quicker compared to electrical charged connections. However it is expensive to buy and fix.
- 7BandwidthBandwidth is a technical term to describe the amount that can be sent on data cables and over wireless connections. On wireless connections the more devices that are connected the more the bandwidth speed reduced. The best bandwidth is fiber optic, twisted coaxial and coaxial.
