Q135 (CISF/2018) Science & Technology › ICT, AI, Cybersecurity & Emerging Tech

Which one of the following communication media supports higher bandwidth ?

Explanation

Fibre optic cable provides the highest bandwidth among the listed communication media. Unlike copper-based cables (coaxial, UTP, or electrical) that transmit data using electrical signals, fibre optics use light pulses to transmit information through thin strands of glass or plastic.

  • Fibre Optic: It operates at extremely high frequencies, allowing for data transfer rates in the range of Terabits per second (Tbps) with very low attenuation and immunity to electromagnetic interference.
  • Coaxial Cable: Commonly used for cable television, it offers higher bandwidth than twisted pair but significantly less than fibre.
  • CAT-S UTP cable: Likely a reference to Category-standard Unshielded Twisted Pair (e.g., CAT-5e/6), which typically supports speeds up to 1–10 Gbps over short distances.
  • Electrical cable: While used for Power Line Communication (PLC), it is not optimized for high-speed data and offers the lowest bandwidth for communication.
