How Does Data Transfer Through Ethernet Cables Work?

by sanks4545 . Updated 15 years, 2 months ago

I was thinking about this and it seems totally f-ing nuts that you can send information through a cable. Im aware that it all gets cut up into packets and such, reassembles when it hits the target computer, but I’m digging a little deeper. How does an electrical signal get read as information? At the surface, it seems like no big deal, but these are all just electrical impulses, aren’t they? How does that even work? WTF!

Thanks.
