Computer networks connect devices to share data using a combination of hardware and software. Key hardware components include network interface cards in each computer, linking devices like hubs, bridges, switches and routers, and cabling to physically connect the devices. Network interface cards control data flow, and common linking devices are hubs, bridges, switches and routers, connected with cables like twisted wire, coaxial or optical fiber cables.
