What is a key advantage of fiber optic cabling over copper cabling?

Immunity to electromagnetic interference

Ability to carry electrical power

Easier to terminate in the field

A user in a coffee shop complains that their laptop's Wi-Fi is slow even though the signal strength is excellent. The shop is crowded with customers using their phones. Which factor is the most likely cause of the slow performance?

The laptop's antenna is not aligned with the access point.

The laptop is using an outdated Wi-Fi standard, such as 802.11g.

The access point is overloaded with many simultaneous users.

The coffee shop's Wi-Fi is using a licensed frequency band.

A hospital is upgrading its network backbone to connect two buildings that are 2 kilometers apart. The area has high-voltage power lines and heavy electrical equipment. The connection must be highly reliable and immune to electromagnetic interference. Which technology should be used?

Coaxial cable with RG-11 rating

Shielded twisted pair (STP) Cat6a cable

A company is deploying a new Wi-Fi network in a dense office environment. The administrator wants to minimize interference from neighboring offices' Wi-Fi networks. Which approach is most effective?

Use only 2.4 GHz access points and set them all to channel 6.

Use 2.4 GHz access points and set them to channels 1, 6, and 11 in a repeating pattern.

Use 5 GHz access points and configure them to use non-overlapping channels.

Increase the transmit power of all access points to maximum.
