Central Office Trunks Subscribers Cross point Switch Switch Control Console (Fiber and Copper) (Mostly Copper Wire)
Electrical Parameters Voltage (Electromotive Force) Current (Amperes, # of electrons flowing) Resistance (conversion of energy) –ohms Impedance (Alternating Current Resistance) –Henrys (inductors), farads (capacitors)
Electrical Circuit Capacitor (Farads) Inductor (Henrys) Resistor (Ohms) Voltage Source 6Volts DC
Components Resistor –Turns electrical energy into heat linearly Capacitor –Holds electrical charge, discharges logarithmically Inductor –Holds electrical energy as magnetism, discharges logarithmically

Transmission Line Equivalent
Transmission Speeds Cycles per second (Hertz) Bits per second Baud 1GB/sec (Ethernet) 100MB/sec (Ethernet) 10MB/sec (Ethernet) 1.544MB/sec (DS1)
Twisted Pair Transmission Line Category 3 Category 5 (More twists per inch)
Transmission Line details Characteristic Impedance Termination Length Limitations Loss due to –Resistance –Crosstalk –Mutual Inductance Radiation
Transmission Line Losses Measured in DECIBELS Ratio of input voltage/current to output voltage/current DB = 20log(voltage1/voltage2) 20 DB is 100 volts in and 10 volts out
Fiber Optics Single Mode Multimode Light Source Light Detector
Network Topologies Bus –Simple but can be failure prone Star –Simple, uses more wire than Bus, less failure prone Ring –Like Bus system Mesh –Redundant but complicated
