QuestionQ276

Network Fundamentals

Drag and drop the characteristic on the left to the correct cable type on the right.

Drag & Drop
is easy to tap into and obtain secure information
transmits data of up to 40Gbit/s over long distances
is affected by electrical and magnetic interference
has minimal light reflection as it travels down the core
copper
single-mode fiber
Explanation

Copper cabling conducts electrical signals, so it is vulnerable to electromagnetic interference and is generally easier to tap without obvious disruption. Single-mode fiber carries light through a very small core in a single propagation mode, which minimizes reflection/modal dispersion and enables high data rates over long distances, including 40 Gbit/s-class links.
