The ___ is an intermediary device between the cpu and the monitor.
1.3.4 Intermediary network devicesInteractive feature not available in single page view (see it in standard view). Show
Intermediary devices interconnect end devices. These devices provide connectivity and work behind the scenes to ensure that data flows across the network. Intermediary devices connect the individual hosts to the network and can connect multiple individual networks to form an internetwork. Examples of intermediary network devices are:
The management of data as it flows through the network is also a role of the intermediary device. These devices use the destination host address, in conjunction with information about the network interconnections, to determine the path that messages should take through the network. Processes running on the intermediary network devices perform these functions:

The most basic computer setup usually includes the computer case, monitor, keyboard, and mouse, but you can plug many different types of devices into the extra ports on your computer. These devices are called peripherals.
Which device is used to start the monitor or CPU?Power Cables
The power supply gives power to the motherboard, which in turn powers the CPU. Power connectors also run from the motherboard to the hard drive and optical drives. On a laptop computer, an additional power cable connects to the display.
What is the role of an intermediary device?Intermediary devices interconnect end devices. These devices provide connectivity and work behind the scenes to ensure that data flows across the network, as shown in the animation. Intermediary devices connect the individual hosts to the network and can connect multiple individual networks to form an internetwork.
What connects the CPU to the system memory?The bus that connects the CPU to the memory is called the front-side bus (FSB) or system bus. CPU cores share Level 2 and Level 3 cache across the FSB. They will usually connect to Level 2 cache through the back-side bus (BSB).
