What are the distances/ranges of Co-axial,twisted pair,fiber optics cables without a repeater?
please number these from best cable to worst.(by speed and bandwidth)
what are the bandwidths too?
are wireless(unguided) media unlimited in range?such as microwaves ,wifi
thanks!

most of us here[ i think anyway,me fur sure] will not know all those answers off the top of our heads ,so we would have to use google to find the answers for you .
I know Cat-5e is around 100m. You can go a little more but anything past that and you lose connectivity. I ran a Cat-5e around 375 feet for a VOIP phone. You could get the call to connect but the call would drop after about eight seconds.
Just go to Google.
