Research happens across all of Google, and affects everything we do. Research at Google is unique. Because so much of what we do hasn't been done before, the lines between research and development are often very blurred.

Cable is the medium through which information usually moves from one network device to another. There are several types of cable which are commonly used with LANs.

Understanding the characteristics of different types of cable and how they relate to other aspects of a network is necessary for the development of a successful network.
