CompTIA Network+ 2012: Network Media and Topologies Part 1 New Horizons Lebanon
Price: TBA
  • Duration: 2 Hours

Course details

  • The choice of network media depends on a number of factors. Speed and bandwidth requirements and budgets are probably the two main considerations, although the site itself can play a part. In new construction, for example, it may make sense to install the more expensive fiber optic media rather than incurring the cost of an upgrade down the road. Upgrades to older sites can be expensive and may not even be possible in some cases. This course describes the different available network media, including twisted pair cable, coaxial cable, fiber optic cable, and wireless media. This course also describes some of the issues that you can encounter, how to troubleshoot the various media, and solutions to some of the problems. This course prepares the learner for the CompTIA Network+ 2012 certification exam N10-005. Network+ is sometimes referred to as N+ or Net+.
