Transmission lines (telecommunication)

Transmission lines in telecommunications are specialized wires or cables that carry electrical signals, such as phone calls, internet data, or television signals, from one location to another. They act as pathways that transmit information rapidly over long distances with minimal loss. Common types include copper wires, fiber-optic cables, and coaxial cables. Fiber optics use light to transmit data at very high speeds and large capacities, while copper and coaxial cables rely on electrical signals. Proper design and installation of transmission lines ensure reliable, high-quality communication essential for modern connectivity.
