Question

Your company received a call from a historical society inquiring about the possibility of networking a two-century-old building with no existing network. In 1924, someone added electrical outlets to the building, but the layout and design of the building prohibit adding any additional copper or fiber cable. You completed a wireless site survey and concluded that wireless networking is out of the question and will not properly function due to environmental interference. Which of the following could be used to network this building?

d. NIC
e. NAT

Answer 1

A. PoE

Step-by-step explanation:

This is PoE because Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a technology for wired Ethernet Local area networks that permits the electrical current necessary for operation of each device to be carried by the data cables rather than by power cables. doing this minimizes the number of wires that must be connected in order to setup the network.

for PoE to work, the electrical current must go into the data cable at the power supply end and come out at the device end, in such a way that the current is kept from the data signal so that neither interferes with each other.
