What is transmission media?

Transmission media refers to the physical pathways that carry data from one point to another in a communication system. These pathways can be guided (wired) or unguided (wireless). Guided media include twisted pair cable, coaxial cable, and fiber optic cable, while unguided media involve radio waves, microwaves, infrared, and light waves. The choice of transmission media depends on factors such as bandwidth requirements, distance, cost, security, and environmental conditions. They are used extensively in computer networks, telecommunications, and broadcasting to facilitate data exchange.
