• Cable Television is a system of delivering television programming to paying subscribers via radio frequency (RF) signals transmitted through coaxial cables or light pulses through fiber-optic cables
• The Characteristics of Coaxial Cable: Voltage Cable 100-120 ohm, Speed and Throughput 0-100 Mbps, The maximum length of cable usage < 500 Meters, Cost Relatively cheap divided into types Thicknet and thinnel
• The Benefit of Coaxial Cable: Network using a coaxial cable network with low cost , but its scope is very limited and reliability is also very limited . Coaxial cable is generally used on the bus and ring topologies
• The Characteristics of FO: 100+ Mbps speeds and output, The average cost is quite expensive pernode, Medium and small connector size, The maximum cable length allowed is 2 km (length)
• The Benefit of FO: Speed fiber optic networks operate at high speed 100MBps - 1Gbps, Bandwidth FO capable of carrying packages with large capacity . Distance which signals can be transmitted further without needing treatment " refresh " or " amplified " max 2km
