Data Transfer

2. (7,4)A type of cable used in local area networks, twisted pairs of wires.
6. (4,8,4)The speed at which data is transmitted across a network, usually measured in bits per second (bps), kilobits per second (kbps), or megabits per second (Mbps).
8. (7,5) The most reliable wired method for high-speed data transfer, using light.
12. (4,4,7)A network that spans a large geographical area, such as a city, country, or global connections. It connects multiple LANs together to enable communication over long distances.
13. (9)The maximum amount of data that can be transferred in a given time period over a network, often measured in megabits per second (Mbps). Higher bandwidth allows faster data transfer.
14. (7,/,6)A device that connects a local network to the internet by translating data between the two. It typically has a modem to connect to the internet service provider and a router to distribute the connection to devices.
15. (7)The time it takes for data to travel from one point to another in a network. High latency can cause delays, especially in real-time applications like video conferencing or gaming.
16. (9)A type of wireless technology that is useful for syncing devices over short distances.

1. (8,4,7)A small network typically used for connecting personal devices, like a smartphone to a laptop, over short distances (usually within 10 metres).
3. (8,6,5)A device that allows wireless devices to connect to a wired network using Wi-Fi. It transmits radio signals that enable internet connectivity within a specified range.
4. (8)A widely used wired networking technology in LANs that uses twisted pair or fibre optic cables to transmit data at high speeds.
5. (12,4,7)A network that covers a larger geographical area than a LAN but smaller than a WAN, often used to connect multiple buildings in a city or campus.
7. (2-2)A wireless technology that uses radio signals for internet access.
9. (12)Disruptions in the normal flow of data due to external sources of electromagnetic energy. This can degrade the quality of data transmission, especially in wired connections.
10. (5,4,7)A network of computers and devices that are connected in a limited geographical area, like an office or home. It enables shared access to resources like files and printers.
11. (7)This cable type has a solid core and is used for broadband internet connections to homes
13. (9)A method used for short-range data transfer, often between mobile devices
