- is typically used for long distance data transmission
- does not require the laying of any cable
- all of the above
✔✔Propagation delay - ✔✔______________ refers to the time it takes for a signal to
travel from sender to recipient (highly exaggerated with satellite transmission).
- Line-of-sight effect
- Multimode index
, - Saturation effect
- Raindrop attenuation
- Propagation delay
✔✔prestige value of the type of media - ✔✔Which of the following is not an important
factor to consider when selecting media to be used in a network?
- prestige value of the type of media
- type of network
- cost
- transmission distance
- security
✔✔fiber optic cable - ✔✔Which of the following is the most secure wired media?
- coaxial cable
- unshielded twisted pair
- shielded twisted pair

✔✔fiber optic cable - ✔✔Which of the following media has the lowest error rates and the
highest transmission speeds?
- coaxial cable
- unshielded twisted pair
- shielded twisted pair
- fiber optic cable
- infrared
✔✔differ widely among media - ✔✔Transmission speeds:
- are the same among all media
- are not a factor in selecting a media because all media have more than enough speed
to serve current communication demands
- are a constant, 56Kbps, for all media types
- differ widely among media
- always have a direct correlation with security
