Twisted pair cable consists of two insulated copper wires twisted around each other. these are also used for short and medium range telephone communications.contains conductor, insulator, wire mesh and outer shield
Coaxial Cables have solid wire core surrounded by one or more foil or wire shields.  It transmit electrical signals. bettern performance than twisted pair cable.
optical fibres consist of thin standard of glass or glass like material.It transmit light signals. It is very fast. It expensive. highly durable
Active Hubs electrically amplify the signal as it moves from one connected device to another. Active concentrators are used like repeaters to extend the length of a network.
Passive hubs allow the signal to pass from one computer to another without any change.
