To be able to communicate and exchange data with other devices a special component is required.
This component in the PC is called a network card.
The information is usually sent and received via a cable by means of voltage.
For stable transmission while connecting different devices so called Ethernet cables are used.
The transmission rate depends on the performance of the network card as well as on the quality of the transmission cable used.
