NET 101 MODULE 4 Flashcards
A means by which a communication signal is carried from one system to another.
TRANSMISSION MEDIUM
can be defined as
anything that can carry information from a
source to a destination.
transmission medium
uses a cabling system that guides the data signals along a specific path.
GUIDED MEDIA
also known as Bounded media, which are those that provide a conduit from one device to another.
Guided media
Types of Guided media?
Twisted Pair Cable
Coaxial Cable
Fiber Optic Cable
Consist of insulated strands of copper wire twisted together to form a single media.
Twisted pair cable
What is the transmission rate of Twisted Pair Cable?
10-100 Mbps
Twisted Pair Cable Transmission of signals take place in?
Electrical Form
What is the maximum cable length of Twisted Pair Cable?
100 meters
Comes with twisted wire pair covered in metal foil. This makes it more indifferent to noise and crosstalk.
Shielded Twisted Pair Cable
A type of copper telephone wiring in which each of the two copper wires that are twisted together are coated with an insulating coating that functions as a ground for the wires.
Shielded Twisted Pair Cable
A popular type of cable that consists of two unshielded wires twisted around each other.
Unshielded Twisted Pair Cable
Due to its low cost, ___ cabling is used
extensively for local-area networks (LANs) and
telephone connections.
UTP/Unshielded Twisted Pair
does not offer as high bandwidth
or as good protection from interference as
coaxial or fiber optic cables, but it is less
expensive and easier to work with.
Unshielded Twisted Pair Cable
Protects the copper wire from physical damage.
Outer Jacket
Protects the signal from interference.
Twisted Pair
Parts of Shielded Twisted Pair.
Outer Jacket
Overall Shield
Pair Shields
Twisted pair
Isolates wires from each other and identifies each pair.
Color-Coded Plastic Insulation
UTP Categories
CAT1 - 8
Consists of a center wire surrounded by insulation and then a grounded shield of braided wire. The shield minimizes electrical and radio frequency interference.
Coaxial Cable
Although more expensive than standard telephone
wire, it is much less susceptible to interference and
can carry much more data.
Coaxial Cable
Transmission rate of Coaxial Cable?
100 Mbps
Maximum cable length of Coaxial Cable?
185 meters Thinnet, 500 meters Thicknet.
Parts of Coaxial Cable
