[...] Comer Principles of Computer Networks And Communications by Morris Schwartz Data Communications and Computer Networks by Curt White Communication media What is Cable (transmission media) Cable is the medium through which information usually moves from one network device to another. There are several types of cable which are commonly used with LANs. In some cases, a network will utilize only one type of cable, other networks will use a variety of cable types. The type of cable chosen for a network is related to the network's topology, protocol, and size, quality,bandwidh and other issues. [...]

There are several types of cable which are commonly used with LANs. In some cases, a network will utilize only one type of cable, other networks will use a variety of cable types. The type of cable chosen for a network is related to the network's topology, protocol, and size, quality,bandwidh and other issues. To determine which cabling is the best for a particular site you need to answer the following questions: How heavy will the network traffic be? [...]

[...] The data signals are not bound to a cabling media and as such are often called Unbound Media Types of Communication media Twisted Pair Coaxial Cable Optical Fiber Wireless Twisted Pair It is ordinary copper wire Two conductors are wound together More the twists, more is the cost and more resistance from external source such as electromagnetic interference or crosstalk between two wires. This type of protection is known as cancellation The next improvement was the use of the twisted-pair cable: two independently insulated wires were twisted around one another. [...]
