...Reliable and easy to use cable - a must for anyone making a home network or even a business network. Although Belkin have released a few inferior products in the past, this cable brings thenm right back up again.
Category 5 cable such as this is the highest-quality UTP Cable. It is tested at 100MHz, allowing it to run high-speed protocols such as 100Mbps Ethernet and CDDI. Category 5 Cable also uses either 22 or 24 AWG unshielded twisted-pair wire and impedance of 100ohms.
It connects with RJ45 connectors (avaiable cheaply)
RJ-45 connectors look a bit like a standard phone connector but are twice as wide (with eight wires). RJ-45s are used for hooking up computers to local area Networks (LANs) or for phones with lots of lines....

Advantages: Cheap, reliable and you get some cable Disadvantages: Doesn't support 100mbit speeds, but at this cost you can't really moan
...You can get one of these combo network cards for around £15 now! That’s £15 pounds for a stable, reliable and long lasting card! Most network cards seem to give up the ghost after a year but this one is still going. There are several versions of the card available and one will suit your needs. There’s the 1280T which only has the telephone style connector, the 1280BT which adds the coaxial BNC connector and finally the 1280BTA which adds the AUI or thick coaxial connector. To top it all off you get a driver disk that supports loads of operating systems, a T-Piece and a bit of coaxial cable – an all round great deal!...

...~~~ Appearance ~~~
The main body of the CNF401 card looks just like every other PCMCIA card designed for a laptop in that it is made of silver metal, is about 5mm thick, has a number of holes at one end in which the interface connectors are concealed, and large labels on both sides identifying the card and its details.
Where the CNF401 differentiates itself from so many other PCMCIA network cards is where the network lead plugs into it. Instead of the more common port into which a strange dongle-like connector is plugged, the CNF401 features a strange bulge of black plastic into which a standard CAT5 lead can be plugged straight in. Set into the plastic bulge are three LEDS which indicate whether the card is connected to a network and the speed at which it is connected (either 10MB or 100MB).
~~~ Operation ~~~
Using the CNF401 is easy...

I was given this book to read following a hospital operation and an enforced lengthy period of having to rest at home in order to take my mind off all of those jobs which need doing around the house. Now when you're usually fit and active sitting and... more
