Network cables are important because they allow devices to connect and communicate with each other over a computer network. Different types of cables are suited to different environments and needs. Properly selecting the right cable is important for network performance and reliability. A peer-to-peer network could be applied in a small office where employees need to share files and printers without needing a centralized server computer. A client/server network would be better suited for a large organization where a more robust centralized network infrastructure is required to serve the connectivity needs of many client devices accessing files, applications and other shared resources located on the server.

What is a network cable?
Network cables are used to connect one network device to other network
devices or to connect two or more computers to share printers, scanners etc..
Types of network of cable
1. Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Cable
A popular type of cable that is commonly used for Local Area
Network. It has two unshielded wires twisted around each other.
2. Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) Cable
The extra covering of the STP Cable provides extra protection to
prevent electromagnetic interference.
3. Coaxial Cable
This cable commonly used in television industries. The metal shield
surrounding the cable helps block interference from fluorescence lights,
motors, and other computers
4. Fiber Optic Cable
Transmits light rather than electronic signals which reduce the risks of
electrical interference. It is ideal for environments where electrical interference
is present.
Network architecture
Refers to the way network devices and services are designed to serve the
connectivity needs of client devices.
1. Peer-to-peer network
This consists of two or more computers share files and access to devices
such as printers without requiring a server computer.
2. Client/server network
A computer network in which one centralized, powerful computer
(called the server) is a hub to which many less powerful personal
computers or workstations (called clients) are connected. The clients
run programs and access data that are stored on the server
Summary
UTP cable is one of the most common forms of network cable used on
wired networks. Ethernet cables connect devices within a local area
network, like PCs, routers, and switches. These limits are one reason
there are different types of cables optimized to perform certain tasks in
particular situations.
Network architecture is the design of a computer network. It is a
framework for the specification of a network's physical components
and their functional organization and configuration.
