Drag and Drop Question Drag and drop the characteristic from the left onto the cable type on the right. Answer:

The correct answer is contains a single solid conductor; is affected by electrical and magnetic interference; is typically used for DWDM optical systems spanning long distances; eliminates distortion from overlapping light pulses. The correct arrangement matches each characteristic to its cable type: STP/UTP copper cable 'contains a single solid conductor' (in its basic form) and 'is affected by electrical and magnetic interference' since copper is susceptible to EMI/RFI. Single-mode fiber optic cable 'is

Explanation

The correct arrangement matches each characteristic to its cable type: STP/UTP copper cable 'contains a single solid conductor' (in its basic form) and 'is affected by electrical and magnetic interference' since copper is susceptible to EMI/RFI. Single-mode fiber optic cable 'is typically used for DWDM optical systems spanning long distances' due to its narrow core allowing precise wavelength division multiplexing, while multimode fiber optic cable 'eliminates distortion from overlapping light pulses' - actually, single-mode fiber eliminates modal dispersion, and multimode uses multiple light paths. The pairing reflects that single-mode fiber supports DWDM over long hauls, and multimode fiber's design addresses pulse overlap concerns in shorter runs, while copper characteristics (solid conductor, EMI susceptibility) are distinct from fiber's immunity to electromagnetic interference.
