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.
