service a modem is required to convert digital signals to analog and vice versa. A CSU/DSU acts in the same way. The CSU/DSU converts the digital data frames that local area networks (LAN) uses into a frame a wide-area network (WAN) uses and just like the modem it will change the frames back to go the other direction across the network. Within the cooperate environment CSU/DSU are very useful. Most large corporations have moved away from general DSL/cable internet and have moved to dedicated circuit

CABLING 1. Describe the three most common types of cabling media used in LANs. Coaxial Cable. Coaxial cable comes in two versions: Thinnet and Thicknet. Thinnet looks like regular TV cable.* It is about 1/4 inch in diameter and is very flexible and easy to work with. In contrast‚ Thicknet is about 1/2 inch in diameter and not very flexible. Thicknet is older and not very common anymore except as a backbone within and between buildings. Coax transmits at 10 Mbps.. Twisted Pair. Twisted pair looks

Describes cables‚ fire ratings and shielding Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Types of Ethernet and phone cables twisted around each other to decrease interference from EMI. Has no shielding. Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) Same as the UTP cables except it is shielded in a metal sheath around it to stop external interference. Fiber-Optic Cable A cable that uses glass to transmit data using light waves. Dark Fiber Optical fiber that has already been laid but is not currently being used. Coaxial Cable A Cable
