How To Plan Ethernet Networking For Your Home

Image
  To set up Ethernet networking for your home, you can follow these steps for a reliable and efficient setup: 1. Assess your networking needs:  Determine the number of devices you want to connect via Ethernet and the areas where you require a wired connection. This will help you plan the layout and understand the length of Ethernet cables you need. 2. Purchase the necessary equipment:  You'll need a  Long Ethernet cable , a router or a switch, and Ethernet wall jacks or adapters if your home doesn't have existing Ethernet ports. Ensure the cables and equipment are of good quality to ensure stable connectivity. 3. Plan your network layout:  Identify the central location in your home where you'll place the router or switch. This location should be accessible and ideally positioned in a way that provides good coverage to all areas of your home. Consider factors like interference, obstructions, and the number of walls between devices. 4. Install Ethernet wall jacks ...

Types of Ethernet Cables

Ethernet cables have been part of our lives for years now. Today they have taken space in our homes, offices, studios, and many such places. They are our medium of connecting with the world. But, we know only a little about them. Often, these cables come free with the equipment which uses Ethernet connectivity in some or other way. So, we don't have to learn more about them but there are various types of Ethernet cables that are available in the market. To name a few: crossover cable, cat 5 cable, cat 5e cable, Cat 6a cable, Cat 7 cable, and many more. These network cables are useful to connect various network devices such as Ethernet switches, routers, computers, servers, etc. to the gadgets we use. Any device which has an Ethernet interface can connect to Ethernet cables. Let's understand the basics of these cables: The  long Ethernet cable  for connectivity in offices or homes rely on the twisted wire pair cables; Cat 5, Cat 6, and Cat 7 use this format. Twi...

Is Single Pair Ethernet Cable the Future?

Image
It’s been more than two decades that the cable authorities have standardized data and voice applications as 4 pair, ScTP or Sc/FTP, balanced UTP, Sc/FTP cables that support up to 40 Gigabits per second on 30 meters for CAT8. The major reason behind this requirement is the demand for high bandwidth that meet with the customer requirements. The rising interest in Internet of Things and Smart Systems have also changed the scope of future cabling systems. For example, HVAC, lighting sensors and other smart systems require less amount of bandwidth as compared to data applications. A sensor, when polled by a controller or an external event, doesn’t transmit more than some bytes of data. Due to the high demand of bandwidth for  Ethernet Cables , IEEE has started developing a new protocol for ethernet which will operate more than a single pair of STP/UTP cable. Now, although the intent was to enhance the bandwidth available through four cables in industrial installations, 100Base-T1 ...

Understanding the Utility and Importance of Ethernet Ports

Image
If you work around computers and other systems, you are sure to have heard the term Ethernet Cables. We often end up plugging these cables into a plug or a network equipment. This is known as an ethernet port. Today, instead of talking about cables, we will be talking about these sockets and how they connect a wired network hardware to Wide area networks or Ethernet Lan. You must have observed Ethernet connections at the back of computers. Every router comes with different ethernet ports that can handle various devices through a single network. This also applies to network hardware like modems and hubs. Usually, an Ethernet Port accepts an Ethernet Cord which has an RJ-45 connector. In case you want to use internet without a wired network, you can go for a WIFI Connection. The Anatomy Of Ethernet Ports You must have seen the ports of traditional telephone instruments. Well, Ethernet port look quite like them. It is just that they’re a little wider than these ports. And y...

What Makes Ethernet Connection better than WiFi?

Image
Anyone who wants to get internet service for their homes or businesses often look for cable free connection. Why? Well, because they prevent their homes/offices from looking messy. But, both these internet transmission avenues, have their own merits and demerits. And when we must choose the best network, we come down to security and mobility. On one hand, the ethernet cord connection provides security, the wireless connections. On the other hand, is available almost everywhere in the form of WIFI. Looking at the current scenario, it seems that the world is going wireless. And the reason for it is probably, because ethernet connection needs a clutter of wires and cords to connect with a device. So, it does not render mobility. If this is the ground on which you think you might need wireless connection, you must give it a second thought. The number of wired internet subscription will reach to 979 million connections worldwide in 2018 as shown by Statista. This proves th...
