Transmission Media
22/04/23 2TTC Riyadh, ICT–BVF–4.1
Overview
• Physical path between transmitter and receiver• Guided - wire• Unguided - wireless• Characteristics and quality of a data
transmission determined by medium and signal• For guided, the medium is more important• For unguided, the bandwidth produced by the
antenna is more important (directionality)• In designing of data transmission systems
— Key concerns are data rate and distance (greater better)
22/04/23 3TTC Riyadh, ICT–BVF–4.1
Design Factors
• Bandwidth—Higher bandwidth gives higher data rate
• Transmission impairments—Attenuation, limits the distance
• Interference— From competing signals in overlapping
frequency bands
• Number of receivers—In guided media—More receivers (multi-point) introduce more
attenuation

Guided Transmission Media
• Twisted Pair• Coaxial cable• Optical fiber• The transmission capacity depends on:

Point-to-point applications
• Unshielded twisted-pair cable (UTP) is a four-pair wire medium
• Each of the 8 individual copper wires in the UTP cable is covered by insulating material.
• In addition, each pair of wires is twisted around each other.
• This type of cable relies solely on the cancellation effect produced by the twisted wire pairs, to limit signal degradation caused by EMI and RFI.
• CAT 5e is the one most frequently recommended and implemented in installations today.

• Unshielded twisted-pair cable has many advantages. • It is easy to install• Less expensive than other types of networking media.
• However, the real advantage is the size.• Small external diameter, UTP does not fill up wiring ducts as rapidly as other types of cable.
• Disandvantages:• Low data rate• Short range
UTP Pros and Cons
Unshielded Twisted Pair
22/04/23 11TTC Riyadh, ICT–BVF–4.1
Twisted Pair - Applications• Most common• Telephone network
—Between house and local exchange (subscriber loop)
• Within buildings—To private branch exchange (PBX)
• For local area networks (LAN)—10Mbps or 100Mbps
22/04/23 12TTC Riyadh, ICT–BVF–4.1
Twisted Pair - Transmission Characteristics• Analog
—Amplifiers every 5km to 6km
• Digital— Use either analog or digital signals— Repeater every 2km or 3km
• Limited distance• Limited bandwidth (1MHz)• Limited data rate (100MHz)• Susceptible to interference and noise
22/04/23 13TTC Riyadh, ICT–BVF–4.1
Near End Crosstalk• Coupling of signal from one pair to
another• Coupling takes place when transmit signal
entering the link couples back to receiving pair
• i.e. near transmitted signal is picked up by near receiving pair
22/04/23 14TTC Riyadh, ICT–BVF–4.1
UTP Categories• Cat 3
—Up to 16MHz—Voice grade found in most offices—Twist length of 7.5 cm to 10 cm
• Cat 4—Up to 20 MHz
• Cat 5—Up to 100MHz—Commonly pre-installed in new office buildings—Twist length 0.6 cm to 0.85 cm
• Cat 5E (Enhanced)• Cat 6 - up to 200MHz
• Cat 7 - up to 600MHz

• Shielded twisted-pair cable (STP) combines the techniques of shielding, cancellation, and twisting of wires.
• Each pair of wires is wrapped in metallic foil. • The four pairs of wires are wrapped in an overall
metallic braid or foil.• STP affords greater protection from all types of
external interference, but is more expensive and difficult to install than UTP.
• The metallic shielding materials in STP need to be grounded at both ends.

Shielded Twisted-Pair Cable
Unshielded and Shielded TP• Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
—Ordinary telephone wire—Cheapest—Easiest to install—Suffers from external EM interference
• Shielded Twisted Pair (STP)—Metal braid or sheathing that reduces
interference—More expensive—Harder to handle (thick, heavy)

Coaxial Cable• Coaxial Cable consists of a hollow outer cylindrical
conductor that surrounds a single inner wire made of two conducting elements.
• One of these elements, located in the center of the cable, is a copper conductor.
• Surrounding the copper conductor is a layer of flexible insulation.
• Over this insulating material is a copper braid or metallic foil that acts as the second wire in the circuit and as a shield for the inner conductor.

• For LANs, Coaxial Cable offers several
advantages.
—It can be run longer distances than shielded
twisted pair, STP, and unshielded twisted pair,
UTP, cable without the need for repeaters.
—Coaxial Cable is less expensive than fiber-optic
cable, and the technology is well known.
