Explanation:
Section Reference: Identifying and Working with Twisted-Pair Cable
Generally, you can run twisted-pair cables 100 meters before the signal degrades to such a point thatit cannot
be interpreted by the destination host. This is known as attenuation. If a cable needs to be run farther, you can
use a signal repeater, a hub, or switch. Otherwise,fiber-optic cable is the solution because you can run it much
farther than twisted-pair cable.
