Learn about the different types of transmission media, including cable (TP and coaxial), fiber optics, and wireless, and their characteristics. Discover the various types of cables, such as UTP and plenum, and the different types of fiber optic cables. Test your knowledge on data transfer speeds and find out which transmission media is the most secure and least secure.

There are 4 types of TM • Cable – TP • Cable – Coaxial • Fiber Optics • Wireless
Cable - TP • UTP • STP • Cat 3 • Cat 5 • Cat 6 • Plenum
Cable - Coaxial • Thin • Thick
Fiber Optics • POF • Singlemode • Multimode
Wireless Transmission • Terrestrial • Satellite
Satellites • LEOs – Low Earth Orbit 125 – 500 miles agl • MEOs – Medium Earth Orbit 5,000-15,000 miles agl • GEOs – Geo stationary/synchronous 22,500 miles agl
How many types of transmission media? Name them. What does UTP stand for? Why the twist in UTP? Why do we use plenum wiring inside buildings? How many types of coaxial cable? How many types of fiber optic cable? Name the fiber types What is the speed of light? Which TM is the most secure? Which TM is the least secure? Test your knowledge
