Network Fundamentals

Drag and drop the characteristic from the left onto the cable type on the right.

Drag & Drop
affected by electrical and magnetic interference
increased refraction between cladding and core as it travels
easy to tap into and obtain secure information
transmits signals using pulses of light
copper
multi-mode fiber
Explanation

Copper cabling carries electrical current, so it is vulnerable to electromagnetic interference and is comparatively easier to tap. Multi-mode fiber is optical media: it sends data as pulses of light and uses a core/cladding structure with differing refractive properties to keep light propagating through the fiber. Those properties distinguish fiber from copper.
