10 MegaBits Per Second * 1000 would equal 10,000 KiloBits Per Second or 10,000,000 Bits Per Second

Definition function of transmission media its types?

TRANSMISSION MEDIAThe means through which data is transformed from one place to another is called transmission or communication media. There are two categories of transmission media used in computer communications.BOUNDED/GUIDED MEDIAUNBOUNDED/UNGUIDED MEDIA1. BOUNDED MEDIA:Bounded media are the physical links through which signals are confined to narrow path. These are also called guide media. Bounded media are made up o a external conductor (Usually Copper) bounded by jacket material. Bounded media are great for LABS because they offer high speed, good security and low cast. However, some time they cannot be used due distance communication. Three common types of bounded media are used of the data transmission. These areCoaxial CableTwisted Pairs CableFiber Optics CableCOAXIAL CABLE:Coaxial cable is very common & widely used commutation media. For example TV wire is usually coaxial.Coaxial cable gets its name because it contains two conductors that are parallel to each other. The center conductor in the cable is usually copper. The copper can be either a solid wire or stranded martial.Outside this central Conductor is a non-conductive material. It is usually white, plastic material used to separate the inner Conductor form the outer Conductor. The other Conductor is a fine mesh made from Copper. It is used to help shield the cable form EMI.Outside the copper mesh is the final protective cover. (as shown in Fig)The actual data travels through the center conductor in the cable. EMI interference is caught by outer copper mesh. There are different types of coaxial cable vary by gauge & impedance.Gauge is the measure of the cable thickness. It is measured by the Radio grade measurement, or RG number. The high the RG number, the thinner the central conductor core, the lower the number the thicker the core.Here the most common coaxial standards.50-Ohm RG-7 or RG-11 : used with thick Ethernet.50-Ohm RG-58 : used with thin Ethernet75-Ohm RG-59 : used with cable television93-Ohm RG-62 : used with ARCNET.CHARACTERISTICS OF COAXIAL CABLELow costEasy to installUp to 10Mbps capacityMedium immunity form EMIMedium of attenuationADVANTAGES COAXIAL CABLEInexpensiveEasy to wireEasy to expandModerate level of EMI immunityDISADVANTAGE COAXIAL CABLESingle cable failure can take down an entire network Twisted Pair CableThe most popular network cabling is Twisted pair. It is light weight, easy to install, inexpensive and support many different types of network. It also supports the speed of 100 mps.Twisted pair cabling is made of pairs of solid or stranded copper twisted along each other. The twists are done to reduce vulnerably to EMI and cross talk. The number of pairs in the cable depends on the type. The copper core is usually 22-AWG or 24-AWG, as measured on the American wire gauge standard. There are two types of twisted pairs cabling1. Unshielded twisted pair (UTP)2. Shielded twisted pair (STP)1. Unshielded twisted pair (UTP)UTP is more common. It can be either voice grade or data grade depending on the condition. UTP cable normally has an impedance of 100 ohm. UTP cost less than STP and easily available due to its many use. There are five levels of data cablingCategory 1These are used in telephone lines and low speed data cable.Category 2These cables can support up to 4 mps implementation.Category 3These cable supports up to 16 mps and are mostly used in 10 mps.Category 4These are used for large distance and high speed. It can support 20mps.Category 5This is the highest rating for UTP cable and can support up to 100mps.UTP cables consist of 2 or 4 pairs of twisted cable. Cable with 2 pair use RJ-11 connector and 4 pair cable use RJ-45 connector.Characteristics of UTPlow costeasy to installHigh speed capacityHigh attenuationEffective to EMI100 meter limitAdvantages of UTPEasy installationCapable of high speed for LANLow costDisadvantages of UTPShort distance due to attenuation2. Shielded twisted pair (STP)It is similar to UTP but has a mesh shielding that's protects it from EMI which allows for higher transmission rate.IBM has defined category for STP cable.Type 1STP features two pairs of 22-AWGType 2This type include type 1 with 4 telephone pairsType 6This type feature two pairs of standard shielded 26-AWGType 7This type of STP consist of 1 pair of standard shielded 26-AWGType 9This type consist of shielded 26-AWG wireCharacteristics of STPMedium costEasy to installHigher capacity than UTPHigher attenuation, but same as UTPMedium immunity from EMI100 meter limitAdvantages of STP:ShieldedFaster than UTP and coaxialDisadvantages of STP:More expensive than UTP and coaxialMore difficult installationHigh attenuation rateFiber OpticsFiber optic cable uses electrical signals to transmit data. It uses light. In fiber optic cable light only moves in one direction for two way communication to take place a second connection must be made between the two devices. It is actually two stands of cable. Each stand is responsible for one direction of communication. A laser at one device sends pulse of light through this cable to other device. These pulses translated into "1's" and "0's" at the other end.In the center of fiber cable is a glass stand or core. The light from the laser moves through this glass to the other device around the internal core is a reflective material known asCLADDING. No light escapes the glass core because of this reflective cladding.Fiber optic cable has bandwidth more than 2 gbps (Gigabytes per Second)Characteristics Of Fiber Optic Cable:ExpensiveVery hard to installCapable of extremely high speedExtremely low attenuationNo EMI interferenceAdvantages Of Fiber Optic Cable:FastLow attenuationNo EMI interferenceDisadvantages Fiber Optics:Very costlyHard to install

Is 10Mbps good for a phone?

yes, that connection is very fast and much more than what people have at their homes. In fact my University has a 10mbps connection. Are you sure you don't mean 10kbps?

You notice that the network card has the capability to run on both 10Mbps networks and 100Mbps networks What must be done to allow this card to run on one network type or the other?

By definition nothing, the card should automatically detect which type of connection it has, but it should be noted that the other hardware that makes up the network needs to be able to operate at the speed that you want. That is if some component that makes up the connection between your computer and the one you are communicating with is at the 10mbps speed then the whole connection will be running at that speed.

If a file takes 15 seconds to transfer across a 1Gbps LAN how many minutes will it take to transfer that same file across a 10Mbps LAN if all else is equal?

Well giga = 1000 mega. So I would say 100 seconds? Simple math?

Why when I do a broadband speed test I get 10Mbps but then when i go to download a file it downloads at 200KBps?

this could be the site that you are downloading from some download sites restrict the speeds they allow for each connection also if you are downloading the file via torrent your isp could be restricting your download for torrents

Types of Ethernet?

10baseT - 10Mbps 100BaseT - 100Mbps GigE - 1000Mbps or 1Gbps 10GigE - 10000Mbps or 10Gbps

What does e10 represent in telecom?

Stands for ethernet 10, or, a 10Mbps ethernet service offered usually by a telco.

What is the bandwidth of 10Base-T Ethernet?

The question is unclear; if you are using 10baseT and you have 10 clients then that is your capacity.

What is the differences between Ethernet and fast Ethernet?

Ethernet is an alternative way of connecting to the internet when given wireless connection. It offers speeds of up to 10Mbps and four hubs can be cascaded between two stations. On the contrary, fast Ethernet has reduced number of hubs and offers speeds of up to 100Mbps.

If a file takes 1 minute to download at 100 Mbps how long would it take at 10Mbps?

It would take 1 tenth of a minute(1/10)

Why would a 10base t network run slow?

it can only run at 10mbps which = 1.25 mega bytes per sec there are 100 and 1000 (gigabit) networks

System says incorrect function when logging into windows xp?

replace the lan card or set 10mbps on card properties bansalakash at hotmail dot com

How do you find out whether a computer is configured to tranfer data at 10mbps rather than 100 mbps?

if it is to your modem then you would take your mouse and hover over the 2 PC symbol ins the bottom left and it should say 10mbt/s or 100 sometimes even 1000. but this can also be limited by the modems max transfer rate. and most wireless connections max at 54mbt/s
