- Router – Directs data between networks.

- Switch – Connects devices in a LAN.

- Access Point – Provides wireless connectivity.

- NIC – Enables devices to join a network.

- Modem – Converts ISP signal.

- Cables – UTP, Fiber.


4. Cabling Standards
Two standards:

• TIA/EIA-568A

• TIA/EIA-568B

Straight-through cables: different devices.

Crossover cables: similar devices.

5. IP Addressing
