LAN (Local Area Network)

The job of a LAN is to physically link several PC’s to each other, and often to a mainframe. LAN’S do not geographically link different sites.

This is accomplished with a variety of materials: unshielded twisted-pair, shielded twisted-pair, Coaxial Cable, fiber-optics, phone lines, or any combination of the above.
