TRANSMISSION MEDIA Transmission
media are located below the physical layer
Computers use signals to represent data.
Signals are ransmitted in form of electromagnetic energy.

TWISTED PAIR CABLE
This cable is the most commonly used and is cheaper than others. It is lightweight, cheap, can be installed easily, and they support many different types of network
Twisted Pair is of two types : Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
Shielded Twisted Pair (STP)

UNSHIELDED TWISTED PAIR (UTP)Adv:• Ordinary telephone wire• Cheapest• Easiest to install• It has high speed capacity• 100 meter limit
Dis adv:• Bandwidth is low when compared
with Coaxial Cable• Provides less protection from
interference.

SHIELDED TWISTED PAIR (STP)Adv:• Metal braid or sheathing
that reduces interference• Easy to install• Eliminates crosstalk• Higher capacity than
unshielded twisted pair• Increases the signaling rate
Disadv:• More expensive• Harder to handle (thick, heavy)• Difficult to manufacture

TYPES OF COAXIAL CABLES
Baseband : Which is used for digital transmission. It is mostly used for LAN’s. Baseband transmits a single signal at a time with very high speed.
Broadband : This uses analog transmission on standard cable television cabling. It transmits several simultaneous signal using different frequencies.

to the same contact point at each end Crossover, where transmit contacts on each end of the
cable are connected to the receive contact at the other end
