just really looking the advantages and disadvantages of each. I Know that fibre optics are quick and can bend around corners and are also very costly and don't get affected by electro-magnetic interface.I am guessing copper pairs can't bend around corners and are easily hacked but im guessing they are cheaper.
Copper pairs do bend around corners. Glass fiber ends up being cheaper in the long run because more signals can be sent over glass than over copper. If all of the data pipe in the world, both copper and glass, disappeared tonight, it would all be replaced with glass to save money on installation and get more capacity.
Coaxial cable is an electric powered cable including a round undertaking twine, surrounded with the help of an insulating spacer, surrounded with the help of a cylindrical undertaking sheath, many times surrounded with the help of a very last insulating layer (jacket). that is used as a severe-frequency transmission line to carry a severe-frequency or broadband signal. because the electromagnetic field wearing the signal exists (ideally) only contained in the area between the interior and outer conductors, it can't intervene with or struggle through interference from exterior electromagnetic fields. An optical fiber (or fibre) is a tumbler or plastic fiber designed to handbook gentle alongside its length with the help of confining as a lot gentle as plausible in a propagating type. In fibers with large center diameter, the confinement is in accordance with entire inner mirrored image. In smaller diameter center fibers, (appreciably used for most verbal replace links longer than 2 hundred meters) the confinement relies upon on installation a waveguide. Twisted pair cabling is a kind of wiring in which 2 conductors are wound at the same time for the applications of canceling out electromagnetic interference (EMI) from exterior resources and crosstalk from neighboring wires.
Copper pairs are cheaper and they CAN bend and are more easily tapped into. Think of the cord that attaches your home phone to the wall jack. Copper pairs. CAT5 cable. The type that connects your computer's LAN port to the network/internet. Twisted pairs of copper. Satellite/microwaves are more-or-less line of sight. You can't have anything solid in between the transmitter and receiver, unless it's a short distance. Fiber optic and microwave/satellite can carry HUGE amounts of digital data. Copper is lossy and needs amplifiers at pretty regular intervals along the way. There are a lot more techincal things that I'm sure others will mention. Hopefully I've highlighted a few things.
