QuestionQ55

Campus and Branch LAN Design

Your manager asks you to identify a reliable, cost-effective way to connect a building access switch to a building distribution switch located 400 feet (120 meters) away in the same building.

What would you use for this scenario?

  • A UTP
  • B multimode fiber
  • C PoE
  • D Wi-Fi bridge
Explanation

Multimode fiber is suitable for a 120-meter in-building switch uplink and avoids the 100-meter maximum Ethernet channel length of UTP cabling. It provides a reliable wired connection between the access and distribution layers.
