Transmission Media

Transmission Media
• Transmission media is a pathway that carries the
information or data from sender to receiver.
• We use different types of cables or waves to transmit data.
• Data is transmitted normally through electrical or
electromagnetic signals.
Transmission Media
• Guided Media or Bound Transmission Media.
• Unguided Media or Unbound Transmission Media.
Guided Media
• Guided Media or Bound Transmission Media.
• Bound transmission media are the cables that have
physical existence and are limited by the physical
geography.
• Cable is the medium through which information usually
moves from one network device to another.
• Popular bound transmission media in use are twisted pair
cable, coaxial cable and fiber optical cable.
• Each of them has its own characteristics like transmission
speed, effect of noise, physical appearance, cost etc.

Unguided Media
• Unguided Media or Unbound Transmission Media:
• Unbound transmission media are the ways of transmitting
data without using any cables.
• This type of transmission is called Wireless
communication. Nowadays wireless communication is
becoming popular.
• Wireless LANs are being installed in office and college
campuses.
• This transmission uses Microwave, Radio wave, Infra-red
are some of popular unbound transmission media.

Coaxial Cable
Coaxial Cable
• Coaxial cable called “coax” for short.
• Coaxial cable consists of a central copper core
surrounded by an insulator, a braided metal
shielding called braiding and an outer cover called
the sheath or jacket.
• With time, however, twisted-pair and fiber-optic
cabling have replaced coax in modern LANs.
10
Coaxial
• Historically, data networks have used two specifications to
transmit data over coaxial cable:
• Thicknet –RG-6 is a larger-size cable than the lower-grade
RG-59 cable.
• thicknet referred as 10BASE-5 Ethernet.
• The 10 represents the 10Mbps and the 5 represents the
max length of 500m.
• RG-6 cable can be used for distribution of feeds from a
satellite dish, cable TV service or rooftop antenna.
11
Coaxial
• Thinnet – RG-59 cable, thinner than thicknet and more
flexible, referred to it as 10BASE-2.
• 10 is 10Mbps and 2 is 200m max length (Supports 185m).
• The RG-59 coaxial cable is used for transmitting power
signals for video systems such as cable television.

Twisted Pair Cable
• A cable made by intertwining two separate insulated wires
together.
• Modern networks typically use cables that contain four
wire pairs.
• There are two types of Twisted Pair Cable
• Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Cable
• Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) Cable

Twisted Pair
15
UTP Cable
• UTP cabling consists of one or more insulated wire pairs
encased in a plastic sheath. UTP does not contain
additional shielding for the twisted pairs.
• UTP is less expensive and less resistant to noise than
STP.
16
STP Cable
• STP cable consists of twisted wire pairs that are not only
individually insulated but also surrounded by a shielding
made of a metallic substance such as foil.
• The shielding acts as a barrier to external electromagnetic
forces, thus affecting the signals travelling over the wire
inside the shielding.
17
UTP Connector
• RJ-45 conductor data cable contains 4 pairs of wires each
consists of a solid colored wire and a strip of the same
color.
• There are two wiring standards for RJ-45 wiring:
T-568A and T-568B. Although there are 4 pairs of wires,
Ethernet uses only 2 pairs: Orange and Green.
• The other two colors (blue and brown) may be used for a
second Ethernet line or for phone connections. The two
wiring standards are used to create a cross-over cable
(T-568A on one end, and T-568B on the other end), or a
straight-through cable (T-568B or T-568A on both
ends). 18

Rollover cable
• Rollover cables are most commonly used to connect to a
devices console port to make programming changes to the
device. Unlike crossover and straight-wired cables,
rollover cables are not intended to carry data but instead
create an interface with the device.
