Scenario 2
Data, medium and signal
Data is being transferred by a medium using
signals.
Types of Mediums
UTP 100m 10 mbps Least Easy to install, Limited distance and
-1000 mbps Expensive widely used and susceptible to
widely available. interference
Fiber 10km & 100mbps- Expensive Higher security, High Difficult to terminate
Optic 2km 100gbps distance,
Not susceptible to
10mbps- EMI
9.92gbps
Different between analogue and
digital signal
Analogue signal differs from a digital signal, small
fluctuations in the signal are meaningful.
Digital signals are easier to transmit and offer less room for
errors to occur while analogue has higher room for errors to
occur.
Binary Digit
A Binary Number is made up of only 0s and
1s.
BIT – short for binary digit, which, in a
computer, is the smallest unit of storage.
In the computer world "binary digit" is often
shortened to the word "bit"
For the first 16 numbers:
Operating Frequency
The amount of data sent can be dependent on the
operating frequency.
Example:
1µs
OF I
A 1 0 1 1 0 1 0 0
OF II 2 µs
B
Media Selection Consideration
Security
Cost
Distance
Speed
Scenario 2 : Fiber Optic
(multimode)
You wanted to connect the computing devices
located in two branches of a company, 1km
apart. (Security, cost, distance, speed.
Distance: 1km (2km and farther – Multimode)
Speed: 100Mbps to 9.92 Gpbs (Multimode)
Cost: Expensive
Security: Cannot be tapped, thus it has better
security.
