3. Network Cabling

If you somehow managed to contrast a PC network with the human body, the network wiring framework would be the nerves that make up the physical demonstration of the nervous system. The network wiring framework is the thing that really conveys every one of the data starting with one point then onto the next and decides how the network functions. How a network is wired is of incomparable significance to how the network works, how quick it works, how consistent the network will be overall, and how simple it will be to extend and change the network.

With any fresh network, your first assignment after calculating the requirements for the network is to decide how the network ought to be cabled; the various parts of the network are then based on those grounds. This is much similar to the OSI seven-layer model you found out about in Chapter 3, in that the network wiring makes up layer 1 (the physical layer), & all the higher networking layers depend on it.

A lot of people believe that network wiring is generally basic. All things considered, what could be more straightforward than running a wire between two ends? Notwithstanding, as you will see, the point of network wiring envelops more than meets the eye, and it's a critical region to get right. In the event that you commit errors selecting or introducing network link, your network will probably be undependable and may perform inefficiently. On account of the work costs required in wiring a network, the best time to address any potential issues around there is well before they happen.
