The Media independent interface or MII is the interface that a PHY uses to communicate with a MAC. A twisted pair is typically used in networking to describe a set of tx or rx wires that are twisted together in a cat5 cable. for a typical 100-1000 Mbps ehternet network you would need two twisted pairs to transfer the data (rx+,rx-,tx+,tx-). The twisted pairs are connected to the PHY (the physical interface) and then via MII the PHY passes the relevant information up the MAC layer of the stack.

What is the operation principle of a twisted pair wire in transmission media?
Describe the basic construction of twisted pair wire?
What are the four types of media used to connect a network?
Unguided media,unsheilded twisted pair,sheilded twisted pair secondly guided media i.e coaxial cable,ehernet,thikwire,thin wire etc
What is the most popular media option for the Ethernet networks?
CAT 5 Cable and RJ 45 Cable (Twisted-pair Ethernet). Unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable
What is the basic characteristic of network media use in eternet?
Copper, twisted-pair cable.
What are the two most commonly used media types in Ethernet networks today?
1. Copper UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) 2. Optical Fiber
What are the major classes of guided media?
twisted pair cable, coaxial cable, and fiber optic cable
What type of twisted pair is suitable with star topology?
UTP- Unshielded twisted pair
What network transmission media is data-grade UTP and can support a maximum of 100 megabits per second?
unshielded twisted pair
What is CDDi?
For a local area network (LAN), CDDI (Copper Distributed Data Interface) is a standard for data transmission based on FDDI (Fiber Distributed Data Interface) that uses shielded twisted-pair (STP) or unshielded twisted pair (UTP) copper wire instead of fiber optic lines. CDDI supports a dual-ring capacity of 200 Mbps. CDDI's maximum distance is up to 200 meters, which is much shorter than FDDI. CDDI is defined by the American National Standards Committee X3-T9.5 and conforms to the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model of functional layering. CDDI is officially named the Twisted-Pair Physical Medium Dependent (TP-PMD) standard and is also referred to as Twisted Pair Distributed Data Interface (TP-DDI).
Does Shielded Twisted Pair wire follow the same standards as Unshielded Twisted Pair wire?
No
What are transmittion media?
Hi, Transmission media means transfer the data from one place to another place. eg. Twisted pair cable, coaxial cable and fiber optic cable.
What is the function of the unshielded twisted pair?
Two conductors, twisted together, without creating a short.
