(a) Twisted pair cables
(b) Optical fiber cables
(c) Coaxial cables
(d) Microwaves
For high rate data transmission systems, arrange the above in terms of their Losses in ascending orders.
The correct sequence is given by:Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFTwisted Pair Cable:
- Commonly used medium and is quite cheaper than the co-axial cable. A twisted pair consists of two insulated conductors twisted together in the spiral form.
- A major disadvantage is large losses for long-distance communication.
Coaxial Cable:
- It consists of two concentric conductors separated by a dielectric material.
- One of the salient features of Co-axial Cables is excellent noise immunity.
Microwave:
- It is widely used for long-distance transmission.
- It, however, has more losses than Co-axial cables.
Optical Fiber:
- Provides transmission rates from 45 Mb/s to 9.6 Gb/s using a single wavelength transmission.
- Losses are minimal as the signal attenuation is low.
The correct sequence in terms of their Losses in ascending orders is:
Optical fiber cables < Microwaves < Coaxial cables < Twisted pair cablesLast updated on Jun 19, 2025
