200-301 · Question #1401

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

The correct answer is is typically used in small office applications; is not easily broken; transmits data of up to 40Gbit/s over long distances; eliminates distortion from overlapping light pulses. The correct arrangement maps characteristics to cable types in order: Multimode Fiber (is typically used in small office applications), Coaxial/Twisted Pair such as STP (is not easily broken - referring to coaxial's durability), Single-mode Fiber (transmits data up to 40Gbit/s ov

Correct arrangement

  • is typically used in small office applications
  • is not easily broken
  • transmits data of up to 40Gbit/s over long distances
  • eliminates distortion from overlapping light pulses

Explanation

The correct arrangement maps characteristics to cable types in order: Multimode Fiber (is typically used in small office applications), Coaxial/Twisted Pair such as STP (is not easily broken - referring to coaxial's durability), Single-mode Fiber (transmits data up to 40Gbit/s over long distances), and Single-mode Fiber also (eliminates distortion from overlapping light pulses - referring to modal dispersion elimination). Single-mode fiber uses a single light path eliminating modal dispersion, making it ideal for high-speed long-distance transmission, while multimode fiber is cost-effective for shorter small office deployments. The physical robustness characteristic applies to coaxial cable due to its thick shielding and rigid construction compared to fiber or UTP.
