## First Layer

The physical layer that is responsible for binary transmission.
The physical layer that is responsible for the bit-level transmission.

Define how transmission is achieved.
Define how transmission is achieved, whether via electronic or optical signals.

## Layer 1 Equipments

Use cables to connect.

Different network uses some medium to communicate.

List of some equipments:

* Network interface controller (NIC)
* Repeater
* Ethernet hub
* like an amplifier, treat the cables connecting to it as if they are directly connected
* Modem
* Fiber media converter

Use Straight-Through for devices with different order.

So that both sending and receiving can be done in the same time.
[Why do I need a crossover cable to connect devices of the same type?](https://networkengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/34425/why-do-i-need-a-crossover-cable-to-connect-devices-of-the-same-type)

Have 2 pairs, so that both sending and receiving can be done in the same time.

4,5 is used for fixed phone
7,8 are not used

### Optical Fiber

Always as a pair

* Single-mode Fiber
* Multi-mode Fiber

## Transmission Distance

Twisted-Pair cables are only reliable under 100 Meters.

In real life, we usually limit it to be 90 meters.

Must use Optical Fiber for longer distance.
