DIFFERENCES BETWEEN COAXIAL CABLES AND FIBRE OPTICS
COAXIAL CABLE FIBRE OPTICS
Transmit signals in electrical form Transmit signals in light form
Made up of plastic copper and wire Made up of plastic and glass
It low efficient High efficient
Cost is less Cost is high
Heavier than optic fiber in weight Lighter in weight
Larger diameter Smaller diameter

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN TWAISTED PAIR AND COAXIAL CABLES

COAXIAL CABLE
Mostly used for television connection
Support greater cable length
They are better shielded from cross talks
Low transmission rate
TWAISTED PAIR
Used for telephone connections
They are thinner and less expensive
They provide high transmission rate
High transmission rate
