This document discusses different types of transmission media, including guided media like twisted-pair cable, coaxial cable, and fiber-optic cable, as well as unguided wireless media like radio waves, microwaves, and infrared. It provides figures and tables comparing these different media, describing their uses and key characteristics. Specific topics covered include categories of twisted-pair and coaxial cables, fiber types and construction, the electromagnetic spectrum for wireless communication, and applications of radio waves, microwaves, and infrared signals.
