Computer Networks. Part Two: Network Hardware

This is second in a series about computer networks. This video covers the various hardware components required to make a computer function on a network. The role of the network interface card (NIC) with its MAC address is included, along with different types of carrier including copper UTP cable, fibre optic cable and WiFi. Repeaters, routers, switches and gateways also get a mention, although these are covered in more detail later in the series.
