subject: Lan Cables [print this page] LAN cables also known as the Local Area Networks cable helps you to connect two or more computers together to form a network group of computers. This LAN cable is very useful because it allows a user of a network connected computer to access files and information of the other computers which are also connected in the Local Area Network by the LAN Cable.
There are different kinds of LAN Cables. There are the Coaxial Cables, Unshielded Twisted pair Cables (UTP Cables), Fiber Optics Cables. Moreover all of these have the same functions but with a few differences but each of them have different bit rates which help to transfer information more from a computer to another computer.
The LAN cables not only transfers the files and data from another computer, it can also be used to have internet connection from a computer to another computer. For example, if you are running an office, more than one of your computers will be needing internet to access the company websites and to verify other necessary data. Hence there is a need for an internet connection. But, you cannot be getting different connections for each of the computers in the office. Therefore you can get a high speed internet connection and then connect all your computers in a network and allow them to access the internet with ease. But the main servers connection must be really good because, as you add in more and more computers to the network, the speed of the internet connection gets divided by the number of computers.
