- 4Coaxial CableThis is a old type of connection cables used to send data signals, for example, analogue TV signals to telephones. This is not widely used because it is limited in the speed of sending data and it is not environmentally friendly.
- 5Twisted CoaxialThis type of connection cable is still widely used in society as it is far more environmentally compared to a normal coaxial cable. However, the speed of sending data is still to slow to manage broadband connection. This type can also be affected by a magnetic waves, but it is cheap.
- 6Fiber OpticFiber optic cables are relatively new and are widely used in organisations and broadband connection. These types of cables use light to send data to and from the internet. The speed of light is quicker compared to electrical charged connection. however it is expensive to but and fix
- 7BandwidthBandwidth is a technical term to describe the amount that can be sent on data cables and over wireless connections. On wireless connections the more devices that are connected the more watchband speed reduced. The best bandwidth is fiber optic, twisted coaxial and coaxial.,
