Which transmission medium is reliable in Computer Networks and why? Discuss.

There are a number of different transmission medium which reliable for different computer networks. All has the merits and demerits. It depends upon the type of computer network. Optical fiber is more flexible medium for networking and communication. It is more effective for long distance communications as well as short distance at high efficiency and very small loss rate. In optical fiber light transmit through the fiber with little attenuation compared to other electrical cables. This allows long distances to span with few repeaters.
