lengths, with standard N-series male connectors installed on each end. It
also is available in bulk, but bulk cable does not include connectors.
Thin Ethernet Cable
—This is a special type of coaxial cable (RG58A/U 50-
ohm), available in a variety of lengths, with or without connectors installed.
Topology
—The physical layout of a network, including the cables and
devices. The topology of a network is its road map and can show which
devices can communicate directly and which cannot because they don’t
share a connection path. Typical topologies used on local area networks
are the bus, star, and ring.
Transceiver
—A device used to connect a network node to a network
segment. Transceivers are also known as MAUs (Media Access Units).
Twisted Pair
—Twisted-pair cable consists of two insulated strands of copper
wire that have been braided. One of the main reasons that this type of
cable is being used for local area networks is that it is already installed in
many locations.
UTP—
Unshielded Twisted Pair (see Twisted Pair).
