Information Technology9 CardsCreated 3 months ago

The Physical layer, as the lowest layer of the OSI model, handles the transmission and reception of raw bits (0s and 1s) over a physical medium. It defines the electrical, mechanical, and procedural specifications—such as cabling, signal encoding, voltage levels, and transmission modes—for how those bits actually travel between devices.
