| Area Network Type | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Campus Area Network (CAN) | Campus area networks (CAN) are networks covering multiple local area networks (LANs) at universities, school districts or small business campuses. They are smaller than metropolitan area networks (MAN). | ||
| Enterprise Area Network (EAN) | Enterprise area networks (EAN) are networks that securely connect all locations for business networks. | ||
| Local Area Network (LAN) | Local area networks (LAN) are networks that connect a group of computers and devices, such as printers or scanners, over short distances. | ||
| Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) | Metropolitan area networks (MAN) are networks that connect devices over medium distances, such as a town or city. They are larger reaching than local area networks (LAN) but smaller than wide area networks (WAN). | ||
| Storage Area Network (SAN) | Storage area networks (SAN) are dedicated networks that connect storage devices to other storage devices. | ||
| Wide Area Network (WAN) | Wide area networks (WAN) are networks that connect devices over large physical distances, such as the internet. | ||
| Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) | Wireless local area networks (WLAN) are networks that connect devices wirelessly over short distances, similarly to local area networks (LAN). | ||

|
| ||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Coaxial | Coaxial cable contains a solid inner conductor with a hollow outer conductor separated by insulating material. The outer conductor acts as a shield for the inner conductor and is a foil or braid. | ||
| Fiber Optic | Fiber optic cable has a glass core that transmits light surrounded by insulated jacket. | ||
| UTP Cable | UTP cable is composed of twisted pairs of copper wire surrounded by insulated jacket. | ||

|
| ||
| Number of Ports | The total number of networking ports which the network equipment provides. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| |||
| Data Rate | The maximum data transfer speed. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| |||
| Voice Over IP (VoIP) | IP telephony allows voice phone calls to be made over the Internet or other packet networks using a personal computer (PC), via gateways and standard telephones. | ||
| Search Logic: | "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice. | ||
| |||
| Wireless | The network device uses wireless technology to connect to the network. | ||
| Search Logic: | "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice. | ||

|
|
| ||
| Features | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Internet of Things (IoT) Compatible | The device is compatible with the Internet of Things (IoT) network. | ||
| Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) Ready | The device supports power over Ethernet (PoE) signals. Both data and power are delivered in one cable to a powered device (PD). | ||
| Layer 3 Capable | The network equipment is layer 3 capable, or has IP addressing, for smarter routing. | ||
| Ruggedized | Hardened products are designed to withstand extreme conditions. Their casings provide protection from weather-related conditions and can act as a heat sink, directing high temperatures away from sensitive components. Hardened products use more reliable components than commercial products and are often used in telecommunications applications. | ||
| VPN | A virtual private network (VPN) is a connection that has the appearance and many of the advantages of a dedicated link, but occurs over a shared network. Using a technique called tunneling, data packets are transmitted across a public, routed network in a private "tunnel" that simulates a point-to-point connection and allows network protocols to traverse incompatible infrastructures. | ||
