Due to some reasons, Dr. Dayang could not attend our class last week and hence this is our first networking class after the midsem break...Honestly, I'm still in holiday mood~So..can I extend my holiday personally?! I guess not...

   So..our topic for this week is all about cable and cabling. Cable is the medium through which information usually moves from one network device to another . There are several types of cable are commonly used with LANs. In some cases, a network will utilize only one type of cable, other networks will use a variety of cable types.

Type of Cables:

Coaxial Cable

Fiber Optic Cable

Wireless LANs

Summary for Ethernet Cabling:

10 Base T: Unsheilded Twisted Pair  :  100 meters

10 Base 2: Thin Coaxial  :  185 meters

10 Base 5: Thick Coaxial  :  500 meters

10 Base F: Fiber Optic  :  2000 meters

Cable and Topology:
Linear Bus : Coax, twisted pair, Fiber : Ethernet, Local Talk
Star : Twisted pair, Fier : Ethernet, Local talk
Star-Wired Ring : Twisted pair : Token Ring
Tree : Coax, Twisted Pair, Fiber ; Ethernet

After Dr. Dayang's teaching, there were two groups of our friends presented their group presentation tasks about creating a blog and search engine~

Hereby, I would like to introduce 2 videos which are about a tutorial on how to create our own blog and also an introduction to search engine~~
