Standards Bodies
• The word Telecommunication was first introduced by Estauré (French enginneer) in 1904.
• The International Telegraphic Union was changed to the International Telecommunication Union ITU in Madrid
1932.
• ITU: is a specialised agancy of the UN. Membership of 193 countries. [Link]
ITU-T: Telecommunication standardisation sector, ITU-R: Radiocommunication sector, ITU-D: Telecommunication
Development Sector.
Other standards bodies:
ANSI: America National standards Institute (recommendations for North America) [Link]
TTC: Telecommunication Technology Committee (Japan) [Link]/e/
IEEE: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers [Link]

• Cheap and easy to install Twisted Pair cable is of two types:
• Consists of two conductors (copper) • Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
• Frequency range 0: to 3.5KHz • Shielded Twisted Pair (STP)
• Typical attenuation: 0.2 dB/Km @ 1Khz Applications :
• Typical delay: 50 µs/km • Telephone network
• Repeater spacing: 2Km. • Local Area Networks

Unshielded Twisted Pair Cable
Advantage: Easy Instalation, Flexible, cheap, 100 meter
limit and used in LAN technologies (eg: Ethernet).
Disadvantage:
- Low bandwidth compared to the coaxial cable.
UTP cables consist of 2 or 4 pairs of twisted cable:
- Less protected from interference
• RJ-11 connector (2 pairs)
• RJ-45 connector (4 pairs)

Tw iste d Pa ir ca b le
Shielded Twisted Pair Cable (STP)
Advantage: Easy Instalation, used in analog and digital
transmission, Increases the signalling rate, higher capacity
than UTP.
Disadvantage:
UTP cables consist of 2 or 4 pairs of twisted cable:
Heavy and difficult to manifacture.
• RJ-11 connector (2 pairs)
• RJ-45 connector (4 pairs)
Telecommunication systems and networks 9
Coaxial Cable
Advantage:
Provide High bandwidth,
Used in long distance telephone lines.
Eliminate distortion. and digital transmission, Increases
the signalling rate, higher capacity than UTP.
Disadvantage:
Single cable failure affects the entire network.
Coaxial cables are of two types:
Difficult to install and expensive / TP cable
• Baseband (e.g LAN)
Possible grounded loop if shield is imperfect
• Broadband (television cabling)

Fibre Optic Cable
FO Cable is made of glass or plastic and transmits signals
in form of light.
Advantage:
• Higher bandwidth ( hundreds of Gbps)
• Smaller size and weight
• Lower attenuation
• Electromagnetic Isolation
• Fewer repeaters.
Disadvantage:
• High cost
• Manufacturing and maintenance

Fibre Optic Cable
A. Multimode step index: In this type of fibre the density
of the core remains constant from the centre to the
edges. A beam of light moves through this constant
density in a straight line until it reaches the interface
of the core and the cladding.
B. Multimode graded-index: Density ,in type of fibre, is
highest at the centre of the core and decreases
gradually to its lowest at the edge.
C. Single mode: This type of fibre has a much smaller
diameter compared to that of multimode fibre, with a
lower density
Telecommunication systems and networks 12
Fibre Optic Cable
Optical fibres are defined by the ratio of the core diameter to the cladding diameter. The common sizes are shown
in the table below:

Unguided transmission
Unguided medium transport electromagnetic waves
without using a physical conductor.
We can divide wireless transmission into three broad
groups:
• Radio waves
• Micro waves
The electromagnetic spectrum, ranging from 3 kHz to 900 THz,
• Infrared waves used for wireless communication.
More details about the Wireless networks will be given in
Chapter 5.

Bandwidth and Bitrate
Please watch the video below and make some conclusions about the two discussed concepts ( bitrate
means also speed)
