2

00:00:02,430  -->  00:00:03,750
In this section of the course,
3

3

00:00:03,750  -->  00:00:06,290
we're going to talk about the different types of media.
4

4

00:00:06,290  -->  00:00:08,010
Now, when I talk about media,
5

5

00:00:08,010  -->  00:00:09,980
we're going to be talking about the types of material
6

6

00:00:09,980  -->  00:00:13,250
that we use to transmit data over our networks.
7

7

00:00:13,250  -->  00:00:15,550
There are basically three categories of media
8

8

00:00:15,550  -->  00:00:17,670
that we're going to cover in this course,
9

9

00:00:17,670  -->  00:00:20,540
copper, fiber optic and wireless.
10

10

00:00:20,540  -->  00:00:21,820
In this section of the course,
11

11

00:00:21,820  -->  00:00:24,480
we're going to specifically talk about copper and fiber,
12

12

00:00:24,480  -->  00:00:26,720
and we're going to leave wireless for its own section,
13

13

00:00:26,720  -->  00:00:29,200
because there's a lot to cover in there too.
14

14

00:00:29,200  -->  00:00:30,770
For now, I want you to remember
15

15

00:00:30,770  -->  00:00:33,630
that we can have wired or wireless transmissions
16

16

00:00:33,630  -->  00:00:35,810
and that when we talk about network media,
17

17

00:00:35,810  -->  00:00:37,860
we're referring to the communication channels
18

18

00:00:37,860  -->  00:00:40,450
used to interconnect nodes on a computer network
19

19

00:00:40,450  -->  00:00:42,830
with these different cables in the case of copper
20

20

00:00:42,830  -->  00:00:45,450
and fiber optics or using radio waves
21

21

00:00:45,450  -->  00:00:47,150
in the case of wireless.
22

22

00:00:47,150  -->  00:00:48,070
In this section,
23

23

00:00:48,070  -->  00:00:49,940
we're going to cover parts of domain one,
24

24

00:00:49,940  -->  00:00:51,240
networking fundamentals
25

25

00:00:51,240  -->  00:00:53,920
and domain five, network troubleshooting.
26

26

00:00:53,920  -->  00:00:56,410
Now specifically, we're going to spend a lot of time
27

27

00:00:56,410  -->  00:00:58,420
on objective 1.3.
28

28

00:00:58,420  -->  00:01:00,440
This states that you must be able to summarize
29

29

00:01:00,440  -->  00:01:02,200
the types of cables and connectors
30

30

00:01:02,200  -->  00:01:04,060
and explain which is the appropriate type
31

31

00:01:04,060  -->  00:01:05,730
for a given solution.
32

32

00:01:05,730  -->  00:01:06,680
Now, we're also going to cover
33

33

00:01:06,680  -->  00:01:10,300
a little bit of troubleshooting here from objective 5.2.
34

34

00:01:10,300  -->  00:01:11,490
Given a scenario,
35

35

00:01:11,490  -->  00:01:13,800
troubleshoot common cable connectivity issues
36

36

00:01:13,800  -->  00:01:15,820
and select the appropriate tools.
37

37

00:01:15,820  -->  00:01:18,130
So let's dive into media and cabling
38

38

00:01:18,130  -->  00:01:19,630
in this section of the course.
