Communication media refers to the means of
delivering and receiving data or information.
In telecommunication, these means are
transmission and storage tools or channels for
data storage and transmission.

Types of Communication

Physical media refers to
the physical materials that
are used to store or transmit
information in data
communications.
These physical media are
generally physical objects
made of materials such as
copper or glass. They can be
touched and felt, and
have physical properties
such as weight and color.

Copper Wires
 Copper is the electrical
conductor in many categories of electrical
wiring. Copper wire is used in power
generation, power transmission, power
distribution, telecommunications,
electronics circuitry, and countless types
of electrical equipment. Copper and its
alloys are also used to make electrical
contacts. Electrical wirings in buildings is
the most important market for the copper
industry.

Optical Fiber
 An optical fiber is a
thin fiber of glass or plastic
that can carry light from one
end to the other. The study
of optical fibers is
called fiber optics, which is
part of applied science and
engineering. A fiber
optic cable can contain a
varying number of these
glass fibers -- from a few up
to a couple hundred.

Co-axial Cable
 Coaxial cable, or coax is a type
of electrical cable that has an
inner conductor surrounded by
a tubular insulating layer,
surrounded by a tubular
conducting shield.
Many coaxial cables also have
an insulating outer sheath or
jacket. It is primarily used
by cable TV companies to
connect their satellite antenna
facilities to customer homes
and businesses.


Written Media
Written communication involves
any type of message that makes
use of the written word. Written
communication is the most
important and the most effective
of any mode of business
communication. Some of the
various forms of written
communications that are used
internally for business operations
include: Memos and Reports.

Electronic Media
 Electronic communication is a
general term that embraces all
kinds of computer-
mediated communication in which
individuals exchange messages
with others, either individually or
in groups. There are many different
types of electronic communication
including but not limited to: email,
social media
newsgroups, chat rooms, video
conferencing, instant messaging,
phone and fax.
