Wired Media
The wired network is the most chosen way to implement
networks inside buildings and in cooperate institutions.
Since it has the physical link between two locations via a
cable.
It is often preferred to connect networks in wired media
unless the terrain of wiring is difficult.
The wired medium still has the best bandwidth (rate that
data can travel) for sending data which is another plus
factor.
There are several Network technology standards in
connecting wires in physical layer, the mostly used
standard in Ethernet.
Coaxial Cables
Coaxial cabling has a single copper conductor at its
center.
A plastic layer provides insulation between the center
conductor and a braided metal shield.
The metal shield helps to block any outside interferences.
Limitations:
maximum 30 nodes on one Thin-Ethernet segment.
minimum 0.5 meter distance between nodes.
maximum total cable-length of 185 meters.
If more than 30 nodes need to be connected or if the
fibers.
A plastic coating then cushions the fiber center, and kevlar
fibers help to strengthen the cables and prevent breakage.
The outer insulating jacket made of teflon or PVC.
There are two kinds of fibers which are called indoor fiber
Wireless Media
Mostly the wireless means sending data through radio
frequency signals.
Have to select a frequency that is un-congested or not
used by other services such as radio / television
broadcasts.
There are several frequencies that cannot be used due to
interference of equipment and the climate interference.
Some frequencies are susceptible to interference of
climate such as storms and lightening.
Some frequencies are susceptible to interference from
lights and electronic devices.
the radio signals and decode and obtain the data which is
transmitted if those are not scrambled or encrypted.
Various Wireless networking technologies are evolved
and in use today. For the indoor and outdoor wireless the
WIFI standards which operates in 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz
range.
