Which factor would be most influential in choosing multimode fiber optic connections over UTP?

A.
signal attenuation

B.
required bandwidth

C.
required distance

D.
electromagnetic interference

E.
cost

Explanation:

Cabling has several key characteristics, such as the physical connector, media type, and cable
length. Copper and fiber-optic cables are commonly used today. Fiber-optic cabling allows for
longer distances and is less prone to interference than copper cabling. The two main types of
optical fiber are single-mode and multi-mode. Copper cabling is widely available, costs less, and
generally covers shorter distances (up to 100 meters, about 328 feet). Typical copper cabling
found in the data center is CAT 5e/CAT 6 with RJ-45 connectors.
