The Physical Layer ( Layer 1)

____________________________________________
When things get a little complicated in networking, I like to remind myself that "it's all ones and zeroes!" Whatever data our end users are creating, it's going to eventually be "translated" into a series of 1s and 0s. Once that is done, it's the Physical layer that handles the actual data transmission. Anything to do with a physical cable or the standards in use - the pins, the connectors, the electrical current itself - is running at the Physical layer.
