Basic hardware components(Computer Network)
All networks are built from basic building blocks of the network nodes to connect, such as network interface cards (NICs), bridges, hubs, switches and routers. In addition, a method of connecting these building blocks, usually in the form of galvanic cable (usually Category 5 cable). Less common are microwave links (as in IEEE 802.12) or optical cables (optical fiber). Ethernet card may be required.
