What is Network Media?

The Tools that carry data between network NODES is called

media and it’s divided into 2 Parts
 Guided Media : Transfers Data via Wire
 Twisted Pair
 Coaxial
 Fiber
 Unguided Media : Transfers Data via Wireless
 AIR

 Twisted Pair Cables

 UTP
 STP

 Coaxial Cables
 Thick Net
 Thin Net

 Fiber Optic Cables

Twisted Pair Cables

 Types of Twisted Pair Cables

• UTP (cables have 3 covers)
• STP (cables have 4 covers)

 Each Cable Has 4 Twisted Pair Cables

 Each Single Cable has 2 Layer
 First Layer (Central) Made From Copper
 Second Layer Made from plastic and covers first layer
3rd Layer is made from Plastic and convers 1st and 2nd layers
Twisted Pair Cables

 STP (Shielded Twisted Pair)

 UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
Twisted Pair Cables

 Straight Through
 Crossover
 Rollover
Crossover Cable

 Standard 568 A
 Use for Connecting Same Devices (PC to PC)
Straight Through Cable

 Standard 568 B
 Use for Connecting Different Devices (PC to Switch)
Rollover Cable

 Standard 568 B
 Use for Console Devices (Router & Switch)

Coaxial Cable

 Coaxial Cable has 4 layer

 First Layer is made of Copper
 Second Layer is made of Plastic
 Third layer is made of mesh copper
 Fourth Layer is made of plastic
 Except of first layer (Core) 3 other layer are use for covering of core layer
