Type of media • Conductive metal twisted pair, coaxial cable • Glass or plastic fiber optic • Wireless microwave, satellite
Twisted Pair Conductor Wire Dielectric Foil Shield Braid Shield Jacket
Shield Twisted-Pair Cable (STP) • covered with a foil shield to reduce interference and crosstalk
Unshield Twisted-Pair (UTP) • does not include any extra shielding around the wire pairs.
Coaxial cable • functionally grouped into • baseband • cable is dedicate for only one channel • broadbandcable can carry several analog signals • (at different frequencies) simultaneously.
