7-1 GUIDED MEDIA

Guided media, which are those that provide a conduit

from one device to another, include twisted-pair cable,

coaxial cable, and fiber-optic cable.

Rollover cable or also Console cable: Use this cable to

configure a Switch or Router using the Console port.

Connect the other end of the cable to PC’s COM port

and open the terminal.

7-2 UNGUIDED MEDIA: WIRELESS

Unguided media transport electromagnetic waves

without using a physical conductor. This type of

communication is often referred to as wireless

communication.

Radio Waves

Microwaves

Infrared

7.31

Radio waves are used for multicast communications, such as

radio and television, and paging systems.

Note

Microwaves are used for unicast communication such as cellular

telephones, satellite networks,

and wireless LANs.

Infrared signals can be used for short-range communication in a

closed area using line-of-sight propagation.
