2 Twisted Pair cable Multiconductor flat cable

3 Advantages of Twisted Pair Cable Simplest to setup Cheapest Limitation of Twisted Pair Cable Small Bandwidth (few hundred khz) High Repeater Frequency (every 6 Km for analog signal and every 2 Km for digital signals) Fair Security

4 2. Coaxial Cable (Coax) Coax has a central core conductor of solid or stranded wire (usually copper) enclosed in an insulating sheath, which is, in turn, encased in an outer conductor of metal foil, braid

5 The outer metallic wrapping serves as as shield against noise as the second conductor This difference in construction makes coaxial cable (or coax) carries signals of higher frequency ranges than those in twisted pair cable.

6 Coaxial Cable Standards Coaxial cables are categorized by their radio government (RG) ratings. Each RG number denotes a unique set of physical specifications, including the wire gauge of the inner conductor, the thickness and type of the inner insulator, the construction of the shield, the size and type of the outer casing.

8 Guided Media Coaxial Cable BNC Connectors Bayone-Neill-Concelman

9 Advantages of coax Higher Data rate ( MHz) than twisted pair (2 MHz). More secure than Twisted pair Disadvantages of coax Attenuation is much higher in coaxial cables than in twisted-pair cable. (signal weakens rapidly and requires the frequent use of repeaters). Fairly costlier than Twisted pair cable A signal in a coaxial cable loses about one half of its original value after 1000 ft of travel, depending on signal frequency

10 Performance of Coaxial Cable

11 Performance Comparison between Twister Pair Cable and Coaxial Cable Twister Pair Cable Coaxial Cable

12 Applications Coax Telephone Network Coaxial cable was widely used in analog telephone networks where a single coaxial network could carry 10,000 voice signals. Later it was used in digital telephone networks where a single coaxial cable could carry digital data up to 600 Mbps. Cable TV networks Ethernet LANs Thin Ethernet - RG Mbps Range (185 m) Thick Ethernet - RG Mbps Range (5000 m)

13 Disadvantages of Coaxial Cable High Attenuation Higher Data rate communication not possible

14 3.Guided Medium(Fiber Optic Cable) Idea is light is carrier of data. Fiber-optic cable is made of glass or plastic Light travels in a straight line as long as it is moving through a single uniform substance. If a ray of light traveling through one substance suddenly enters another substance (of a different density), the ray changes direction. This bending of light when it moves from one medium to another medium is called as refraction.

15 Reflection

16 Refraction

17 Critical Angle

18 Principle: Total Internal Reflection 1. Light moves from denser medium to rarer medium 2. Incidence angle should be greater than critical angle Example Looking at the sky while under water

19 Critical angle is a property of the substance, and its value differs from one substance to another.

20 Fiber Construction

21 Optical Fiber Benefits Greater capacity Data rates of hundreds of Gbps Smaller size & weight Lowest attenuation Electromagnetic isolation Greater repeater spacing 10s of km at least More secure against unauthorized users Resistance to corrosive materials. Glass is more resistant to corrosive materials than copper.

22 Optical Fiber Limitations Fiber Installation and maintenance Terminate the optical fiber cable Straight line alignment Costlier than any other guided medium Unidirectional light propagation

24 Guided Media Fiber-Optic Cable Propagation Modes

25 Guided Media Fiber-Optic Cable Propagation Modes

26 Single Mode

27 Single-mode uses step-index fiber and a highly focused source of light that limits beams to a small range of angles, all close to the horizontal. The single mode fiber itself is manufactured with a much smaller diameter than that of multimode fiber

28 Multimode Step-Index

29 Multimode Step-Index In multimode step-index fiber, the density of the core remains constant from the center to the edges. A beam of light moves through this constant density in a straight line until it reaches the interface of the core and the cladding. At the interface, there is an abrupt change due to a lower density; this alters the angle of the beam's motion. The term step index refers to the suddenness of this change, which contributes to the distortion of the signal as it passes through the fiber

30 Multimode Graded-Index

31 Multimode Graded-Index A graded-index fiber, therefore, is one with varying densities. Density is highest at the center of the core and decreases gradually to its lowest at the edge
