While troubleshooting a network outage, a technician finds a 100-meter fiber cable with a small service loop and suspects it might be the cause of the outage.
Which of the following is MOST likely the issue?

A.
Maximum cable length exceeded

B.
Dirty connectors

C.
RF interference caused by impedance mismatch

D.
Bend radius exceeded

Explanation:
The excessive bending of fiber-optic cables can increase microbending and macrobending losses. Microbending causes light attenuation induced by deformation of
the fiber, while macrobending causes the leakage of light through the fiber cladding and this is more likely to happen where the fiber is excessively bent.
