Bounded and unbounded media are the transmission media which is used to transfer data from one destination to another through its means.
Bounded media
The transmission media which uses wire to transmit the signal / data / information from one to another is known as bounded media. In a bounded medium, signals are confined to the medium and do not leave it. So, it is also known as guided media. The data transmission rate is faster than the unbounded media. It is generally used to transmit data/information in a short distance. It uses twisted pair cable, coaxial cable, and fiber optic cable as transmission media. All the computer and devices are physically connected in Bounded media.
Unbounded Media
The transmission media which uses wireless to transmit data / information / signal from one to another is known as unbounded media. The data transmit rate is slower than the bounded media because signals are not confined in the medium. And so, it is also called unguided media. It is used for transmitting the data / signal / information for long distance. It uses radio wave / microwave / communication satellite as transmission media. All the computer and devices are not physically connected in this mechanism.
