A WLAN covers a large geographical area and is made up of many smaller networks.

A half duplex connection allows a device to send and receive, but not at the same time.

Phone cords are a type of twisted-pair cable and use an RJ-45 connector.

10Base5 cabling runs at speeds up to 1 Gbps and distances to 500 meters.

A punchdown tool is used to wire twisted-pair cabling to a keystone jack.
