Network Hardware and There Types

Network Hardware: Network hardware is defined as the hardware component of the computer network which s responsible for transformation of data and other operation of network system. A network system consist many hardware component for performing various operation. Computer system are used for various purpose and for that we use internet facility. Speed and performance of computer depends on internet connection that how better it is, and internet connection depends on networking. So in this blog I describe here some hardware networking types.

Types of Network Hardware:

Cables & Wires:

Cables and wires are the most important part of any network. In today's modern era all the wire and cable connection are converted into wireless but still there is need of some wires at least 2 -3 to make important connection like to connect desktop to router or router to modem etc. These are some important connection that are made only with the help of wires.

Network Interface Card:

Network interface cards that is NIC is one of the most important hardware components of a computer network. NIC allows the user to connect the computer to a network. In OSI model It works on the lowest layer like on the physical and data link layer. In modern technology NIC are built on the motherboard of computer setup either desktop or laptop.

Hubs:

Hubs are used to connect more than one devices together. If hubs are not available than it is difficult to connect number of devices to router. hub consist multiple ports and connect number of devices through wires and group them into a segment. It operates on the physical layer of the OSI model.

Modems:

Modem is one of the most important hardware device in computer networking. It is especially used to connect your computer system to internet. Modems are used to modulation or demodulation of the signals transmitted on telephone lines or cables. In modulation process analog signals are encoded in digital form and then transmit while in demodulation it is decoded in analog form at the receiving end to get the original signal.
