    Solution

    STP is commonly used in Token Ring networks and UTP is in Ethernet networks. Coaxial cables widely used in cable television services and video connections, like those used by closed circuit surveillance systems. Optical fibers are used most often as a means to transmit light between the two ends of the fiber and find wide usage in fiber-optic communications, where they permit transmission over longer distances and at higher bandwidths (data rates) than wire cables.
