TWISTED PAIR CABLE
* Twisted Pair cable consists of four insulated pairs of wires twisted
around each other
* Twisting of wires reduces crosstalk
* Crosstalk is the bleeding of a signal from one wire to another which can
corrupt signal and cause network errors
* Used in telecommunication and Ethernet network U It is used for creating small computer network.

STP
* Shielded individual pair of wires
+ Maximum length can be 100 m
+ Gives greater protection from interference and crosstalk due to shielding
+ Heavier and costlier than UTP TWISTED PAIR CABLE
ADVANTAGES
Simple, easy to install and
maintain
Physically flexible
Low weight
Can be easily connected
Very inexpensive
DISADVANTAGES
* Incapable to carry signal over
long distances without a
repeater (> 100)

COAXIAL CABLE ——-
* Consists of a solid wire core surrounded by one or more foil or wire
shields
* Each separated by plastic insulator
« Inner core carries the signal and the shield provides the ground
* Suitable for high speed communication
+ Most common in cable TV transmission Qe

OPTICAL FIBERS
* Optical fibres consist of thin strands of glass
or glass like material which carry light.
* Uses LEDs or LDs
+ The data to be transmitted is modulated
onto the light beam using frequency
modulation techniques
* The signals at the receiving end are
demodulated
* The bandwidth is very high OPTICAL FIBERS
~ Core The fiber cable consists of three pieces
(i) The core - the glass or plastic through
which the light travels
(ii) The cladding - covering of the core that
reflects light back to the core
(iii) Protective coating - protects the fiber
cable from hostile environment
~ adding OPTICAL FIBERS
ADVANTAGES
Immune to electrical and
magnetic interference
Highly suitable for harsh
industrial environments
Guarantees secure transmission
Very high transmission capacity

Use radio frequencies. Uses transmitter and receiver
Both the transmitter and receiver use antennas to radiate and fetch
radio signals.
Radio waves are omnidirectional, i.e,, the signals are propagated in
all the directions.
Radio waves cover a large area, and they can penetrate the walls,
bricks, woods.
It provides a higher transmission rate. )
Examples: An FM radio, television, cordless phones. a
