Which of the following transmission medium is acceptable for ATMs (Asynchronous Transfer Mode)?(Note- Coaxial cable and Twisted pair are acceptable under 100 metres run)
Fiber optics, coaxial cable, and twisted pair transmission medium are acceptable for ATM (asynchronous transfer mode).
Asynchronous transfer mode:-
Asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) is a switching technique used by telecommunication networks that uses asynchronous time-division multiplexing to encode data into small, fixed-sized cells. This is different from Ethernet or internet, which use variable packet sizes for data or frames.
Fiber-optics:-
Fiber-optic communication is a method of transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of light through an optical fiber. The light forms an electromagnetic carrier wave that is modulated to carry information.
Coaxial cable:-
Coaxial cable is a type of electrical cable that has an inner conductor surrounded by a tubular insulating layer, surrounded by a tubular conducting shield. Many coaxial cables also have an insulating outer sheath or jacket.
Twisted pair:-
Twisted pair cabling is a type of wiring in which two conductors of a single circuit are twisted together for the purposes of improving electromagnetic compatibility.
