Conducted Media

Overview

Definition: Uses physical cables, such as twisted pair, coaxial, or fiber optic, to transmit data.
Common Examples: Twisted pair wires, coaxial cables, and fiber optics.
Signal Transmission: Transmits electrical or light signals through cables.
Installation: Requires physical installation of cables, which can be labor-intensive and expensive.
Cost: Higher initial cost due to the need for cabling infrastructure.
Bandwidth: Provides higher bandwidth with less interference.
Security: More secure as physical access is needed to tap the data.
Mobility: Limited to fixed locations due to the use of cables.
Distance: Range is limited by the length of the physical cables.
