Network Fundamentals

Drag and drop each characteristic onto the correct cable type.

Drag & Drop
is typically used in small office applications
is typically used for internal datacenter connectivity
has increased attenuation over long distances
is comprised of shielded and unshielded twisted pairs
copper
multimode fiber
Explanation

Copper cabling in Ethernet networks is twisted-pair media and is available in unshielded and shielded forms, so that characteristic belongs to copper. Copper is also the common choice for small office LAN runs. Multimode fiber is widely used for short, high-speed links inside buildings and datacenters. Compared with single-mode fiber, multimode fiber has higher modal dispersion and attenuation over longer distances, which is why it is generally limited to shorter-distance datacenter-style links.
