Ethernet Networking
Ethernet, along with its speedier counterpart Fast Ethernet, is the most popular
networking standard in
use today. If the computers at your workplace are running on a network, they are
most likely connected with Ethernet technology.
Ethernet networks are generally faster than the alternatives, although other
technologies are closing the speed gap. Because Ethernet is so popular and
simple, the essential components of Ethernet networking are easily available and
surprisingly inexpensive.
To build an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network in your home, you will need one
Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network card or adapter per computer. Ethernet network
cards are installed inside your computer, while network adapters are external.
You will also need at least one hub or switch to act as the central point of
your network, as seen in the diagram below. Unlike a Phoneline network, you
can't string the computers of an Ethernet network directly into one another.
They must connect at a central point.
Special cabling (technically called Category 5 UTP) is required to build an
Ethernet network. One end of an RJ-45 cable plugs directly into a computer's
Ethernet network card or adapter, and the other end plugs into a switch, hub, or
similar device, connecting that computer to the other networked computers.
Ethernet or Fast Ethernet networking is the best home networking solution if
speed is your primary networking concern. |
