A network infrastructure technician is auditing cabling deployments across an enterprise campus facility. Match each network cable type and connector specification on the left to its correct physical characteristic or deployment requirement on the right.
- Category 6a (Cat 6a) Plenum-rated (CMP) UTP/STPSupports 10 Gbps speeds up to 100 meters at 500 MHz using fire-retardant jacketing suitable for environmental air handling spaces.
- Single-mode Fiber (SMF) with LC ConnectorsUtilizes a narrow yellow-sheathed core () and laser diode transmitters for multi-kilometer inter-building backbone links.
- Multi-mode Fiber (MMF) with ST ConnectorsUtilizes an orange or aqua-sheathed wider core () with legacy straight-tip bayonet twist-and-lock connectors.
- Coaxial RG-6 with F-Type ConnectorsEmploys an 18 AWG solid copper core surrounded by dielectric insulation and shielding, featuring a threaded screw-on termination used for broadband cable modems.
Cevap
The cable and connector specifications match their corresponding physical characteristics and deployment environments as follows: Cat 6a CMP matches the 10 Gbps 100m plenum-rated specification; Single-mode fiber with LC matches the narrow-core multi-kilometer laser specification; Multi-mode fiber with ST matches the wider-core legacy bayonet specification; RG-6 coaxial with F-type matches the 18 AWG threaded broadband specification.
Each cable specification correctly pairs with its unique electrical, optical, and mechanical properties. Cat 6a CMP satisfies 10GBASE-T up to 100 meters in plenum spaces; Single-mode fiber with LC handles long-distance laser transmission through a narrow core; Multi-mode fiber with ST utilizes a wider core with legacy bayonet connectors; and RG-6 coaxial with F-type connectors provides shielded 18 AWG RF signaling for broadband links.
