Network Basics

are uncommon. Portable
computers connecting to
thin coaxial LANs use a
PC card with a short cable
that provides a BNC
connection. In all cases,
the LAN cable connects to
the computer through a
BNC "T" connector.

Hidden network
cables and
equipment:
In many
network installations, the
hubs are kept in
equipment closets and the
cables are hidden in the
walls. In these
installations, wall outlets
with RJ-45 jacks are the
only visible components
of the network wiring. For
such a network, you use a
short length of network
cable to connect from the
computer to the wall jack.
