WEEK 3 POSTING - CABLING

In this blog, our word for the week is cabling—and trust me, it’s more interesting than it sounds! Many computer users see cables as just the wires that keep everything running. While that’s partly true, there’s actually a lot more going on behind the scenes. So, what exactly is cabling? In simple terms, cabling is the system of wires that connects devices together in a network. Think of it like roads that carry cars—except instead of vehicles, these cables carry data. Without them, your devices wouldn’t be able to “talk” to each other at all.

In the tech world, cabling refers to the physical connections that allow computers, routers, and other devices to share information. Examples include Ethernet and fiber optic cables, which are designed to transmit data quickly and efficiently. Good cabling is essential because it keeps your network fast, reliable, and stable. On the other hand, poor or incorrect cabling can lead to slow speeds, connection drops, and overall frustration.

I hope this helped you see cabling as more than just a bunch of wires! As always, feel free to share your thoughts, ask questions, or leave a comment—I’d love to hear from you. Don’t forget to share this with others who might be curious about how networks really work. Stay tuned for next week’s topic!

  WEEK 2 - THE TRAITS OF A TECH As many of you may know from my previous post, I am currently studying IT at Bellevue University in a fully online program. After completing the first week of classes, I have gained a better understanding of the key traits a technology professional should possess—the essential dos and don’ts. I’ve also realized that these are fundamental principles that are often overlooked in the workplace. While these traits are important for IT professionals, they also serve as valuable ethical guidelines that can benefit any work environment. Let’s take a closer look at these traits. Honesty/Integrity My course materials define honesty as telling the truth and integrity as doing the right thing, and I strongly agree with both definitions. However, I believe honesty goes beyond being truthful to customers or supervisors—it also involves being truthful with yourself. Being honest with yourself requires self-reflection, such as putting yourself in others’ situations...

  WEEK 5 POSTING - POWER SUPPLY Hello, lovely people, it is another exciting beginning of the week, which means we get to learn about something new this week. My question for today is, have you ever wondered what keeps your computer running? The answer is the power supply , also known as the PSU. It might not be the most exciting part of a computer, but it is one of the most important. So, what exactly does a power supply do? It is likely that you already have an understanding of this, but I will still go ahead and answer the question. The power supply takes electricity from your wall outlet and converts it into the correct voltage that your computer components can safely use. Different parts of your computer, such as the motherboard, hard drive, and graphics card, require different amounts of power, and the PSU makes sure everything gets what it needs. Today, I will take you through eight easy steps on how to install a power supply. If you are installing a PSU for the first ...
