CIM 2465 Network Connectivity 2
Analog Signal Vs Digital Signal
• Analog data is continuous data• The world we live in is mainly an analog
world. E.g. light, video, voice • Digital data is discrete, values are distinct
from one another.• Digital computers process data in digital
form (0 or 1)• A/D D/A conversion (e.g. modem)

Properties of an Analog Signal
• Amplitude
• Frequency
• Phase
• Modulation and Demondulation
![Page 5: CIM 2465 Network Connectivity1 Network Connectivity (Topic 2) Textbook: Networking Basics, CCNA 1 Companion Guide, Cisco Press Cisco Networking Academy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d275503460f949fdec4/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
CIM 2465 Network Connectivity 5
Factors AffectingTransmission of Signals
• Noise– Refers to any interference on the physical medium that makes it
difficult for the receiver to detect the data signal– Crosstalk
• Noise created on one wire as a result of current flowing over a nearby wire
• Attenuation– Attenuation in an electrical signal is a decrease in voltage as the
signal crosses the wire– Can be caused by
• Resistance of wires• Energy loss• Frequency of signal

Digital Transmission
• Digital Transmission is a general term that refers to how computing devices transmit the binary bits from one to another
• Can be done by (Modulation)– Varying (modulating) an electrical signal as it
passes over a copper wire– Varying the power of light as sent over an
optical fiber– Varying the radio waves sent through space,
wireless communications

Transmission Media
• Major types– Copper Wires
• Coaxial Cable, Shielded Twisted Pair (STP), Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
– Optical– Wireless
• Considerations– Transmission speed– Digital or Analog transmission– Transmission distance
![Page 9: CIM 2465 Network Connectivity1 Network Connectivity (Topic 2) Textbook: Networking Basics, CCNA 1 Companion Guide, Cisco Press Cisco Networking Academy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d275503460f949fdec4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Coaxial Cable
• Composed of a single copper wire, surrounded by an insulating shell, then a second conductor shield, and a plastic outer shell– Types:
• Thick Coaxial (10Base5)• Thin Coaxial (10Base2)
• Today’s modern LANs no longer use 10BASE5 and 10BASE2

CIM 2465 Network Connectivity 10
Coaxial Cable
• Advantages– Longer transmission distance than STP and UTP, few
er repeaters needed– Less expensive than fiber-optic, more expensive than
STP and UTP– High bandwidth medium that can carry thousands of
signals, support broadband transmission of cable TV, a single cable is divided into many channels for transmission. Commonly used to deliver cable-television signals and high-speed Internet access
