Copper Cabling

Why is cabling considered a fundamental part of network communication?

• It is easily replaced and upgraded.

• It is only used for wired connections, which are becoming obsolete.

• It forms the essential foundation for all network devices and even wireless communication.

• It is primarily used for short-distance connections within a building.

What is the primary purpose of twisting wires in a twisted pair copper cable?

• To increase the cable's flexibility.

• To reduce electromagnetic interference and allow for signal correction.

• To provide additional insulation for the wires.

• To allow for multiple signal types to be sent simultaneously.

What determines the data transfer rate over a copper cable?

• The physical length of the cable.

• The type of copper used in the cable.

• The signal encoding and the specific Ethernet standard being used.

• The color of the cable's jacket.

What is a key characteristic of coaxial cables?

• They consist of multiple twisted pairs of wires.

• They are primarily used for long-distance fiber optic connections.

• They have two or more forms that share a common axis.

• They are designed to be highly flexible for easy installation.

What is a primary advantage of Twinaxial cables over twisted pair for short-distance 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections?

• They support much longer distances.

• They are significantly more flexible.

• They offer lower cost and lower latency.

• They are easier to terminate.
