Comparing Media Types (Guided Media) : Media Type Max. Segment Length Speed Cost Advantages Disadvantages

This document compares different types of guided media for data transmission including their maximum segment lengths, typical speeds, costs, advantages, and disadvantages. UTP has a maximum length of 100m, speeds from 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps, is the least expensive but is also the most susceptible to interference. Fiber optic has the longest maximum length over 10km or more, highest speeds from 100 Mbps to 232 Gbps, but is also the most expensive option.
