Server equipment

They differ in the fact that some accept information and process it, while others only contribute to this.

Active equipment is equipment that contains electronic circuits, is powered from an electrical network or other sources and performs the functions of amplification, signal conversion, and others. This means the ability of such equipment to process the signal using special algorithms.

Passive equipment not receiving power from the electrical network or other sources, and performing the functions of distribution or reduction of the signal level. For example, cable system, plug / socket (RG58, RJ45, RJ11, GG45), patch panel, balun for coaxial cables (RG-58), cable trays, mounting cabinets and racks, telecommunication cabinets.
