Jacket

C.

D.
Cladding

Explanation:
A BNC refers to a Bayonet Neil Concelman RG58 connector for 10Base2. Fiber optic cable has three
basic physical elements, the core, the cladding, and the jacket. The core is the innermost
transmission medium, which can be glass or plastic. The next outer layer, the cladding is also made
of glass or plastic, but has different properties, and helps to reflect the light back into the core. The
outermost layer, the jacket, provides protection from heat, moisture, and other environmental
elements. Source: Gigabit Ethernet by Jayant Kadambi, Ian Crayford, and Mohan Kalkunte (Prentice
