Media Of Communication Part 1

 Media Of Communication

Communication Channel:-Medium of communication can broadly categorized into two types:-
 1.Guided Media: - Guided media are those, which provide a physical connection from one device to another device. Like:-(a)Ethernet Cable: - Ethernet is a data link technology used in local Area network. Such cable can transmit data speed of 100-1000 mbps.
.Ethernet Cable was invented by an electrical Engineer of U.S. named Robert Metcalf.
.Ethernet Cable connected to Ethernet port with the help of “RJ45” socket.

Ethernet Cable can be categorized into:-
 1.Straight through Ethernet Cable:- It is used to connect different devices.
Like:- Computer to hub
       Computer to switch
       Computer to router
It has same order of color form left to right.


2.Ethernet Crossover Cable:- It is used to connect same device.
Like:- computer to computer
        Router to router 
        Hub to hub
In the cable inside the main covering 1st with 3rd and 2nd with 6th wire crossed from left

   (b)Co-axial Cable:- It acts as an efficient electrical transmission media. It consist of a single line of conductor surrounded by insulator layer and a conductive shield over it.

  •   It can transmit upto 100 mbps.
  •   It is used by the Cable T.V. operator.



 (c)Fiber optics:- Fiber optic cable is made fine stands of silicon glass fiber and is coated with a refractive surface. Data are transferred through electromagnetic waves.

  •  It can support over 30,000 telephone lines at a time. Transmission rate upto 10Gbps.

BASIC STRUCTURE OF A COMPUTER SYSTEM

Computer Function A computer performs action and accomplishes its task in three basic stages namely:- INPUT – Input is the data that is fed into the computer by the user. PROCESS – Processing refers to the series of action by which the computer converts raw data into information. OUTPUT – Output is the result which is termed as information. Input Unit Data and instructions enter a computer through an input unit in a form that depends upon the input device used. Ex- Keyboard, Mouse, Joystick, Scanner etc. CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (C.P.U) CPU is also known as the brain of the “Brain of Computer”. As it appears as a hardware component, but it is also a functional component of a computer system. Functional Elements of a CPU        1.        Arithmetic Logic Unit(ALU)        2.        Control Unit(C.U)        3.    ...

DEVICES USED IN NETWORK

  1. MODEM: It stands for Modulator- Demodulator. A   modem is a peripheral device which modulates ( convert   digital signals to analog signals) and demodulates( convert   analog signals into digital signals) at the local workstation.   The sending and receiving ends of the communication must   have a modem. Now a days mobile phones have inbuilt   modem devices that help to browse internet.      2. Switch: A network switch is a small hardware device that is used to amplify data signals & create smaller network segment or several subnets of bigger network. It is used to prevent overloading of data in the traffic of a network. It is also responsible for forwarding and transforming data packets between the sub networks.    3. HUB:   A hub is a hardware device which provides common connection point to connect several devices together in a network. It contains multiple ports on which wo...

Media Of Communication Part 2

Unguided Media Unguided media transport electromagnetic wave without using a physical connection. This type of communication referred as wireless communication. We can divided wireless transmission in :-   1. Radio Wave:- Electromagnetic   waves ranging in frequencies between 3KHz and 1GHz are normally called radio wave.   On radio wave connectivity used communication used Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, etc.     Bluetooth :- It is a wireless network connectivity that enables to connect or transfer data between devices over a short range the physical range of connection up to 100 meter. Ex- Mobile phone, barcode scanning, portable speaker, wireless keyboard, mouse etc.      Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity):- Wi-Fi is a network of wireless connection. Wi-Fi network establish by radio frequency like Bluetooth, but has more power, resulting a strong connection.    ·   Wi-Fi is also called wireless Ethernet. It has connectivity range up...
