Across
  1. 2. / A twisted pair of cables that carry data signals, usually used for Ethernet connections.
  2. 3. / Limits the data that can pass through the system and protects the attached machines from damage by unauthorized users.
  3. 4. / High-speed data transmission in a single cable.
  4. 9. / Monitors data flowing over computer network links. Can be either a software program or a hardware device with necessary software or firmware installed. Also called “network probes” or “snoops.”

Down
  1. 1. / Most common type of connection used to connect computers to a local area network (LAN).
  2. 3. / A light based cable system used to deliver data made of extremely thin glass filaments or other transparent materials. 3 wds
  3. 5. / Highest possible data transfer rate of an internet connection; measures how much data can be sent in a specific amount of time to a particular location.
  4. 6. / Carries data to smaller lines of transmission; connects main network lines to local area networks (LAN).
  5. 7. / Translates easily memorized domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of locating computer services and devices worldwide.
