After examining the major bounded media, let's take a quick look at how they compare
Twisted Pair Cable :
Advantages
1. Inexpensive
2. Often available in existing system
3. Well tested and easy to get
Disadvantages
1. Susceptible to RFI and EMI
2. Not as durable as coax
3. Doesn’t support as high a speed as other media.
Coaxial Cable :
Advantages
1. Fairly resistant to RFI and EMI
2. Supports faster data rates than twisted pair
3. More durable than TP
Disadvantages
1. Can be effected by strong interference
2. More costly than TP
3. Bulkier and more rigid than TP
Fiber Optic Cable :
Advantages
1. Highly secure
2. Not affected by RFI and EMI
3. Highest bandwidth available
4. Very durable
Disadvantages
1. Extremely costly in product and service
2. Highest bandwidth
3. Sophisticated tool and method for installation
4. Complex to layout and settings
