Question

What are two advantages of using fiber-optic cabling instead of UTP (any two)?
A. Lower cost B. Easier to install
C. Allows longer distances D. Less affected by external signals
E. Easier to terminate the cable ends.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A and B only
• B. C and D only
• C. A and E only
• D. B and E only

Hint:

Fiber-optic cables are ideal for long-distance data transmission and environments with high electromagnetic interference, which makes them superior in these areas compared to UTP cables.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Fiber-optic cabling has advantages over UTP cables, such as:
- It allows for longer distances due to the nature of the fiber-optic signals (C).
- It is less affected by external signals, making it more reliable (D).
Therefore, the correct answer is "C and D only."
