    14. What does the term “attenuation” mean in data communication?

    • Loss of signal strength as distance increases

    • Time for a signal to reach its destination

    • Leakage of signals from one cable pair to another

    • Strengthening of a signal by a networking device

    Correct Answer
    A. Loss of signal strength as distance increases
    Explanation
    Attenuation refers to the loss of signal strength as distance increases in data communication. As data signals travel through a medium, such as a cable or fiber optic line, they can weaken or degrade over long distances. This is due to factors like resistance, interference, and dispersion. Attenuation can result in errors and reduced data transfer rates. Therefore, it is important to consider attenuation when designing and implementing data communication systems to ensure reliable and efficient transmission of signals.

    4. A network administrator is required to use media in the network that canrun up to 100 meters in cable length without using repeaters. The chosen media must be inexpensive and easily installed. The installation will be in a pre-existing building with limited cabling space. Which type of media would best meet these requirements?

    • STP

    • UTP

    • Single-mode fiber

    • Multi-mode fiber

    Correct Answer
    A. UTP
    Explanation
    UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) would best meet the requirements of the network administrator. UTP cables can run up to 100 meters without the need for repeaters, making them suitable for the network. They are also inexpensive and easy to install, which is important in a pre-existing building with limited cabling space. STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cables are more expensive and may not be necessary for this scenario. Single-mode and multi-mode fibers are typically used for longer distances and higher bandwidth requirements, which are not mentioned in the given requirements.
