- BOUNDED TRANSMISSION MEDIA
Bounded media is a physical link that the signal is carried through. It
is often a narrow path. This is also called guided media. It is made up
of a conductor, which is usually made of copper and is jacketed with
material. Bounded media provides high speed and is very secure. Its
drawback is that it cannot be used for distance communication because of
the physical items that it requires to run.
Bounded media includes twisted pairs cables, fiber optics cables and coaxial cables.
- UNBOUNDED TRANSMISSION MEDIA
Unbounded transmission of media are the ways of transmitting data
without using any cables. These media are not bounded by physical
geography. This type of transmission is called Wireless communication.
Nowadays, wireless communication is becoming popular. Wireless LANs are
being installed in office and college campuses. This transmission uses
Microwave, radio wave, infra red are some popular unbound transmission
media.
