Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the most common type of guided transmission media?
A
Fiber-Optic Cable
B
Coaxial Cable
C
Twisted-Pair Cable
D
Microwave Transmission
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Coaxial cable is very commonly used transmission media, for example, TV wire is usually a coaxial cable. The name of the cable is coaxial as it contains two conductors parallel to each other. It has a higher frequency as compared to Twisted pair cable.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fiber-Optic Cable: This type of guided media consists of multiple thin strands of glass or plastic fibers that employ light pulses to carry data over long distances at very high speeds with little attenuation or interference from outside sources.

Detailed explanation-3: -Guided − In guided media, transmitted data travels through cabling system that has a fixed path. For example, copper wires, fibre optic wires, etc. Unguided − In unguided media, transmitted data travels through free space in form of electromagnetic signal. For example, radio waves, lasers, etc.

Detailed explanation-4: -Twisted Pair cable. Coaxial cable. Fibre Optic Cable. 17-Mar-2023
