Network Fundamentals

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

Drag & Drop
is typically used in small office applications
transmits data of up to 40Gbit/s over long distances
is not easily broken
eliminates distortion from overlapping light pulses
copper
single-mode fiber
Explanation

Copper cabling is the typical choice for small office Ethernet because it is inexpensive, easy to terminate, and durable compared with fiber. Single-mode fiber supports very high bandwidth over long distances and avoids modal dispersion, which is the distortion caused by overlapping light pulses traveling in different modes.
