Updated on 02/07/2024

What are two differences between optical-fiber cabling and copper cabling? (Choose two)

A) A BNC connector is used for fiber connections.
B) The glass core component is encased in a cladding.
C) The data can pass through the cladding.
D) Light is transmitted through the core of the fiber.
E) Fiber connects to physical interfaces using RJ-45 connections.


Solution

Correct answer: B) The glass core component is encased in a cladding and D) Light is transmitted through the core of the fiber.
In optical-fiber cabling, the core component, typically made of glass or plastic, is encased in a cladding, which helps to guide the light signals by reflecting them back into the core. This structure enables the transmission of light signals through the fiber.
Light signals are transmitted through the core of the optical fiber, while in copper cabling, electrical signals (typically carried by electrons) pass through the copper conductors. Copper cabling does not use light for transmission.
