Traadivõrk

Traadivõrk, often translated as wired network, refers to a computer network that uses physical cables to connect devices. This contrasts with wireless networks, which use radio waves. The most common type of wired network connection uses Ethernet cables, which transmit data between computers, routers, switches, and other networking hardware.

Ethernet cables are typically made of copper wires and are categorized by their speed and performance, such as Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat7. These cables offer several advantages, including greater reliability, higher speeds, and better security compared to wireless connections. Data transmission over a wired network is less susceptible to interference from other devices or physical obstructions.

In a typical wired network setup, devices are connected to a central hub or switch, which then directs traffic to the appropriate destination. Routers are used to connect different networks, such as a local area network (LAN) to the internet (WAN). Wired networks are widely used in homes, offices, and data centers where stable and high-performance connectivity is essential. While wireless technology has become increasingly popular, wired connections remain a fundamental component of modern networking infrastructure.
