Question

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

Explanation

The correct arrangement matches each characteristic to its cable type: coaxial cable is easy to tap into and lacks strong physical security, copper/twisted-pair cable transmits data as electronic signals, fiber optic cable transmits signals using pulses of light, and fiber optic cable is also physically constructed with a core (glass/plastic), cladding (reflective layer), and protective coating. Fiber optic's light-based transmission and unique physical structure distinguish it clearly from copper-based media, while coaxial cable's vulnerability to physical tapping is a well-known security concern.
