The three main types of network media are twisted pair cables, coaxial cables, and fiber optic cables. Twisted pair cables, commonly used in Ethernet networks, transmit electrical signals. Coaxial cables also carry electrical signals and are often used in cable television and internet connections. Fiber optic cables transmit data as light signals, allowing for high-speed and long-distance communication.
No. They only carry separated color signals.

Cables carry the electrical signals necessary to transfer data from one system to another.
No. Only Displayport and HDMI cables carry audio along with video.
Passive cabling refers to the physical network infrastructure that consists of cables and connectors without any active electronic components that amplify or regenerate signals. It includes various types of cabling, such as twisted pair cables (like Ethernet), coaxial cables, and fiber optic cables, which transmit data signals passively. These cables are essential for establishing connections between devices in a network but do not process or enhance the signals themselves.
No, optical cables use light to transmit audio signals, while S/PDIF cables use electrical signals. Optical cables are most commonly used with devices like home theater systems, whereas S/PDIF cables are found on a variety of audio equipment like TVs and CD players.
Light.
A Category 5 (Cat 5) cable is used for carrying signals. It is a twisted pair of cables used for computer networks such as Ethernet. It can also be used to carry telephony and video signals.
Sending signals through networks of cables, such as fiber-optic cables, is faster, more secure, and less prone to interference compared to using infrared waves in the air. Cables provide a dedicated pathway for the signals to travel without being affected by external factors like weather conditions or physical obstructions. Additionally, cables offer a more reliable and stable connection for transmitting information over longer distances.
Traffic light signals typically use multi-conductor cables, often referred to as traffic signal cables or control cables. These cables are designed to handle low voltage and usually consist of multiple insulated conductors to connect the signal heads to the controller. They may also include shielded cables to reduce electrical interference, ensuring reliable operation of the traffic signals.
Fiber Optic cables carry data as light.
