Hey, sorry, not sure if this is in the right forum, but I was just curious about something, what's the difference between between a data communications system and a networking system?

For the most part, no.
Data communication, you could say, is how stuff on the network interacts ... but that's about the same. -
To me, Data Comm encompasses Networking systems. Networking is just switches and routers, while Data Comm encompasses more than Ethernet.
-
Data communication would be stuff like the OSI Model
-
OSI is also networking......
When someone tells me they are in Data Comm, that could mean they are in fields that aren't normally covered in networking, like certain cellular technologies that I'm not smart enough to name.
data communications vs networking difference?
