What is the advantage of fiber-optic cable?
Fiber-optic cabling allows for increased distance while also having the capability of transferring data at a much faster rate than other types of media. Single-mode fiber will support 10 Gbps transmission speeds. Fiber-optic cabling is more secure because data cannot be extracted from the cable inductively. Fiber-optic cabling is also unaffected by RFI and EMI. 8. What are the disadvantages of fiber-optic cable? The cost of fiber cabling and fiber equipment is significantly greater than that of twisted-pair cabling. Fiber is also very fragile and breaks easily during installation or thereafter. Termination and installation cost is more than double that of twisted-pair cabling. 9. What is the medium for wireless communication? Wireless signals are electromagnetic waves that can travel through the vacuum of outer space and through media, such as the air in our atmosphere. Therefore, no cable medium is necessary for wireless signals. 10. What are TIA/EIA standards? The TIA/EIA standards s
