  2. Chapter 7 – Transmission Media

  3. Relation to Internet Model • Actually located below the physical layer • Directly controlled by the physical layer 4123702 Data Communications System @YRU

  4. Introduction • Data must be converted into electromagnetic signals to be transmitted from device to device • Signals can travel through a vacuum, air, or other media • May be in the form of power, voice, radio waves, infrared light, and X, gamma, and cosmic rays • Each of these forms constitutes a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum 4123702 Data Communications System @YRU

  5. Electromagnetic Spectrum 4123702 Data Communications System @YRU

  6. Categories of Media • Guided Media • Twisted pair, coaxial, and fiber-optic • Unguided Media • Radio waves, infrared light, visible light, and X, gamma, and cosmic rays • Sent by microwave, satellite, and cellular transmission 4123702 Data Communications System @YRU

  7. Guided Media • Twisted-pair and coaxial use copper conductors to accept and transport signals in form of electrical current • Optical fiber is glass or plastic cable that accepts and transports signals in form of light 4123702 Data Communications System @YRU

  8. Twisted-Pair Cable • Two conductors surrounded by insulating material • One wire used to carry signals; other used as a ground reference • Twisting wires reduces the effect of noise interference or crosstalk since both wires will likely be equally affected • More twists = better quality 4123702 Data Communications System @YRU

  9. Effect of noise on parallel line 16 Effect of noise on parallel line 4123702 Data Communications System @YRU

  10. Effect of noise on twisted-pair lines 4123702 Data Communications System @YRU

  11. Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) • Most common type; suitable for both voice and data transmission • Frequency range is from 100 Hz to 5 MHz • Categories are determined by cable quality • Cat 3 commonly used for telephone systems (up to 10 Mbps) • Cat 5e usually used for data networks (up to 100 Mbps) • Performance is measured by attenuation versus frequency and distance 4123702 Data Communications System @YRU

  12. UTP example 4123702 Data Communications System @YRU

  13. UTP (cont) • Adv: cheaper, flexible, easy to install • UTP connectors attach to wire; most commonly used is RJ45, which have 8 conductors, one for each of four twisted pairs 4123702 Data Communications System @YRU

  14. Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) • By IBM • A metal foil or braided-mesh covering encases each pair of insulated conductors to prevent electromagnetic noise called crosstalk • Uses same connectors • More expensive but less susceptible to noise 4123702 Data Communications System @YRU

  15. STP example 4123702 Data Communications System @YRU

  20. UTP performance 4123702 Data Communications System @YRU

  21. Coaxial Cable • Has a central core conductor enclosed in an insulating sheath, encased in an outer conductor of metal foil • Frequency range is between 100 KHz and 500 MHz • RG numbers denote physical specs such as • wire gauge • thickness and type of insulator • construction of shield • size/type of outer casing 4123702 Data Communications System @YRU

  22. RG numbers • RG-8, RG-9, and RG-11 used in thick Ethernet (50) • RG-58 used in thin Ethernet (50) • RG-59 used for TV (75) 4123702 Data Communications System @YRU

  23. Coaxial Cable example 4123702 Data Communications System @YRU

  24. Coaxial Cable Connectors • Most common is barrel connector (BNC) • T-connectors are used to branch off to secondary cables • Terminators are required for bus topologies to prevent echoing of signals 4123702 Data Communications System @YRU

  25. Coaxial Performance • Higher bandwidth than twisted-pair • However, attenuation is higher and requires frequent use of repeaters 4123702 Data Communications System @YRU

  26. Coaxial Applications • Analog telephone networks , • single coaxial network could carry 10,000 voice signals • Digital telephone networks , • single coaxial network could carry digital data up to 600 Mbps • Cable TV networks • Traditional Ethernet LANs 4123702 Data Communications System @YRU

  27. Coaxial cable performance 4123702 Data Communications System @YRU

  28. Fiber-Optic Cable • Made of glass or plastic; • signals are transmitted as light pulses from an LED or laser • Speed depends on density of medium it is traveling through; • fastest when in a vacuum, 186,000 miles/second 4123702 Data Communications System @YRU

  33. Fiber Construction (2) 4123702 Data Communications System @YRU

  34. Propagation Modes • Method for transmitting optical signals: • Multimode • Multimode step-index fiber • Multimode graded-index fiber • Single Mode 4123702 Data Communications System @YRU

  35. Propagation Modes (cont) 4123702 Data Communications System @YRU

  36. Multimode • Multiple beams from light source move through core at different paths • Multimode step-index fiber • Index refers to the index of refraction • Density remains constant from center to edges • Light moves in a straight line until it reaches the cladding • Some beams penetrate the cladding and are lost, while others are reflected down the channel to the destination 4123702 Data Communications System @YRU

  37. Multimode (cont) • As a result, beams reach the destination at different times and the signal may not be the same as that which was transmitted • Multimode graded-index fiber • May be used to decrease this problem and to allow for more precise transmissions • Graded-index refers to varying densities of the fiber; highest at center and decreases at edge 4123702 Data Communications System @YRU

  38. Multimode (cont) • Since the core density decreases with distance from the center, the light beams refract into a curve • Eliminates problem with some of the signals penetrating the cladding and being lost 4123702 Data Communications System @YRU

  39. Single Mode • Only one beam from a light source is transmitted using a smaller range of angles • Smaller diameter • Makes propagation of beams almost horizontal; • delays are negligible • All beams arrive together and can be recombined without signal distortion 4123702 Data Communications System @YRU

  40. Light Sources • Light source is light-emitting diode (LED) or a laser • LEDs are cheaper but not as precise (unfocused); limited to short-distance use • Lasers can have a narrow range, better control over angle • Receiving device needs a photosensitive cell (photodiode) capable of receiving the signal 4123702 Data Communications System @YRU

  49. Disadvantages of Fiber Optics • Installation/maintenance • Relatively new technology • need expertise • Unidirectional, bidirectional communication two fibers are needed • Cost • Cable and interface are relatively more expensive • Bandwidth is not high, often the use of fiber cannot justified 4123702 Data Communications System @YRU
