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

The correct answer is affected by electrical and magnetic interference; easy to tap into and obtain secure information; increased refraction between cladding and core as it travels; transmits signals using pulses of light. The correct arrangement maps characteristics to their respective cable types: Coaxial/Copper cables are 'affected by electrical and magnetic interference' and 'easy to tap into and obtain secure information' because they transmit electrical signals susceptible to EMI and physical

Correct arrangement

increased refraction between cladding and core as it travels
transmits signals using pulses of light

Explanation

The correct arrangement maps characteristics to their respective cable types: Coaxial/Copper cables are 'affected by electrical and magnetic interference' and 'easy to tap into and obtain secure information' because they transmit electrical signals susceptible to EMI and physical eavesdropping. Multimode fiber optic cable experiences 'increased refraction between cladding and core as it travels' due to multiple light paths causing modal dispersion, while fiber optic cable in general 'transmits signals using pulses of light' using LED or laser technology immune to EMI.
