There are 3 major types of Guided Media:

  • Twisted Pair Cable
  • Coaxial Cable
  • Optical Fibre Cable

Unguided Media

It is also referred to as Wireless or Unbounded transmission media.No physical medium is required for the transmission of electromagnetic signals.

Features of Unguided Media

Unguided Media have these featuresl Signal is broadcasted through air Less Secure and it is Used for larger distances

Types of Unguided Media

  • Radiowaves
  • Microwaves
