  1. From electricity to bits

    From electricity to bits. In a computer, information travels over wires. The easiest way to convey information in a wire is to consider it "on" or "off", based on how much electricity is going through it. An "on" wire represents 1 , and an "off" wire represents 0 . This small piece of information is called a "bit", and it's the smallest piece ...

  2. serial

    Edit: Other interfaces that have higher bit rates can send bits or symbols over a wire so that the time that the bit/symbol takes to travel in the wire is longer than the bit/symbol duration. In fact that is the reason that in 10Base2 Ethernet the packet sent over the coaxial cable must have a minimum length so that it is long enough that a ...

    5. You won't be surprised to learn it's just varying voltage levels in a circuit formed by the network cables. You also probably won't be surprised to find that the details are fiendishly complicated and far too involved to reproduce here. Even the voltage levels used depend on whether it's 10MHz, 100MHz or GHz cabling.

  6. ELI5: How do bits travel in a copper wire? : r/explainlikeimfive

    The important part is that all of the parts of the circuit that transfer bits can either be at 0V or +V. Circuit components have inputs and outputs and the presence or absence of voltage in the input wires determines if the output wire (s) will have a voltage or not As an example. When you plug a thumdrive in the computer the 2 devices are ...

  8. The Physical Layer: Sending Bits

    Figure 2.3 shows how a transmitter transmits a modulated EM signal using an antenna. The signal will travel in many directions (see Sect. 3.7) so potentially several receivers will be able to pick up a copy of the signal using their antenna.The EM signal arrives at the receiving antennas with a delay \(c\times d\), where c is the speed of light and d is the distance between the transmit and ...

  9. FAQ: How does data travel over a cable?

    Transferring data through a cable uses the same principle as conducting electricity along a length of metal wire. At its most simplistic, data sent over a cable is converted into binary code - a collection of 1s and 0s. The device transmitting the data will send current along the cable at two different voltages (for instance, 0V and 5V), with ...

  11. Bit rate, bandwidth, and latency (article)

    Recall that bandwidth is a term used to describe the maximum bit rate of a system. Therefore, the "combination of bandwidth and latency" will implicitly include bit rate as a component of the analysis. The article leaves it implicit, but this means you have the right idea! Bit rate plays an important role in the speed of network communication.

  12. cpu

    1. bits are represented by voltages, it's not a moving thing. One can measure the voltage at 2 points on a wire. A printed circuit board (PCB) e.g. a motherboard, has the equivalent of wires, called "traces"/"conductive pathways". Parts e.g. CPU and RAM, are connected, directly or indirectly. I'm not that well read on this, but it used to be a ...
