LAN (Local Area Network) refers to a network that connects devices within a limited area, such as an office or campus. LANs incorporate various components like adapters, routers, switches, and firewalls to ensure efficient data flow. They include KVMs, media converters, and Power over Ethernet (PoE) to simplify device management and connectivity. With LAN modems, SFPs, NICs, and transceivers, LANs provide secure, high-speed networking for enterprise and commercial environments, facilitating seamless communication and data sharing.
