Which of the following 802.3 classifications has a MAXIMUM segment distance of 984 feet (300 meters)?

The correct answer is C. 1000BaseSX. 1000BaseSX uses short-wavelength (850 nm) laser over multimode fiber and has a maximum segment distance of approximately 220–550 meters depending on fiber grade; for exam purposes it is commonly cited at up to 300 meters (984 feet). The other options have different distances…

Explanation

1000BaseSX uses short-wavelength (850 nm) laser over multimode fiber and has a maximum segment distance of approximately 220–550 meters depending on fiber grade; for exam purposes it is commonly cited at up to 300 meters (984 feet). The other options have different distances: 1000BaseT (copper Cat5e/6) is limited to 100 meters; 100BaseFX (multimode fiber) supports up to 2 kilometers; and generic '1000Base' is not a specific standard. 1000BaseSX is the only choice that matches the 300-meter figure.
