Question

You need to put cabling for connecting two new computers in a room, which did not have any network infrastructure. Because of the purpose of the room, you cannot mount cables on the floor. The walls are also inappropriate. The only way is to put cables above the ceiling tile. However, the ceiling is full of fluorescent lamps which cannot be removed or deactivated. You are worrying about the disruption of network signals by these lamps. What kind of cabling will you propose to the management, and why?

Answer 1

Coaxial Cable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Coaxial cabling has a single copper conductor at its center. A plastic layer provides insulation between the center conductor and a braided metal shield. The metal shield helps to block any outside interference from fluorescent lights, motors, and other computers.

Answer 2
