What are the different networking devices?

NETWORKING DEVICE

includes all computers, peripherals, interface cards

other equipment needed to perform data-processing and communications within the network

NETWORKING DEVICES

Network Interface Card (NIC) Hubs Switches Repeaters Bridge Router Modem

NETWORK INTERFACE CARD

provides the physical connection between the network and the computer workstation

also referred to as Ethernet adapters, network adapters, LAN cards, or LAN adapters

How NICs Work

Before sending data from a computer, a NIC converts the data into a signal that is appropriate for network cabling. Transceiver Combo cards

HUB

sometimes referred to as a concentrator

acts as a convergence point of a network, allowing the transfer of data packets

HUB

a hub works by duplicating the data packets received via one Port, and making it available to all ports, therefore allowing data sharing between all devices connected to the hub

SWITCH

joins multiple computers together within one local area network.

capable of inspecting data packets as they are received, determining the source and destination device of each packet, and forwarding them appropriately

REPEATER

electrically amplifies the signal it receives and rebroadcasts it

can be separate devices or they can be incorporated into a concentrator

used when the total length of your network cable exceeds the standards set for the type of cable being used

BRIDGE

used to create a connection between two separate computer networks or to divide one network into two.

ROUTER

ROUTER

connects at least two networks

forwards and routes data packets along networks.

ROUTER

The router ensures that information doesn't go where it's not needed.

The router makes sure that information does make it to the intended destination.

MODEM

A modem is a communication device that is used to provide the connectivity with the internet.
