Which of the following transmission media is not readily suitable to CSMA operation?
- A.
Radio
- B.
Optical fibers
- C.
Coaxial cable
- D.
Twisted pair
Attempted by 265 students.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access) relies on the ability of nodes to detect collisions on a shared medium. Coaxial cables, twisted pairs ,and optical fibers allow for effective carrier sensing and collision detection in shared environments. Therefore, radio waves are not readily suitable for CSMA operation.
