Transmission Media
Transmission Media In data communication terminology, a transmission medium is a physical path between the transmitter and the receiver it is the channel through which data is sent from one place to another. Transmission media is broadly classified into the following types: Types of transmission media: Guided Media 1)Twisted pair cable 2)Coaxial cable 3)Optical fibre cable Unguided Media 1)Radio waves 2)Microwave 3)Infrared 1.Guided Media It is also referred to as wired or bounded transmission media. Signals being transmitted are directed and confined in a narrow pathway by using physical links features. -High speed -Secure -Used for comparatively shorter distances. -Use for comparatively shorter distances -There are three major types of guided media 1)Twisted pair cable It consists of two separately insulated conductor wires wound about each other generally, several such pairs are bundled together in a protective sheath. They are the most widely used transmission media. Twiste...
