NETWORKS Wired LANs As the name implies, a wired LAN connects computers (and other network devices) physically, using wires. A typical LAN uses twisted-pair wiring (similar to telephone wiring) to connect each computer to a central hub. The hub transmits network communications between computers. Wired LANs offer high-speed communication, as well as reasonable security and reliability. In general, however, they are not as flexible as wireless LANs. Most wired LANs conform to the IEEE 802.3 standard. The most common wiring schemes use twisted-pair wiring or thin coaxial wiring.

Wired LANs
As the name implies, a wired
LAN connects computers (and
other network devices)
physically, using wires. A typical
LAN uses twisted-pair wiring
(similar to telephone wiring) to
connect each computer to a
central hub. The hub transmits
network communications
between computers.
Wired LANs offer high-speed
communication, as well as
reasonable security and
reliability. In general, however,
they are not as flexible as
wireless LANs.
Most wired LANs conform to the
IEEE 802.3 standard. The most
common wiring schemes use
twisted-pair wiring or thin
coaxial wiring.
