Networks[1]
The characteristics of different transmission media include:
- speed
- reliability
- cost
- security
Transmission media include:
- metal conductor (typically copper - about 300 Megabits per second (Mbps))
- fibre optic (industrial glass - 940 Megabits per second (Mbps))
- wireless (wireless - 150 Megabits per second (Mbps))
An image to learn about pro's and cons about different network media[edit]
I used this image (a screengrab) from a youtube video by the folks at code.org. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhEf7e4kopM[2]
A good video, which touches more on transmission media and wireless[edit]
Some of the videos I show you don't exactly apply to our learning. This video is EXCELLENT and you should watch it many times.
