Single Answer
0Alekos is building an Ethernet network and knows that he needs to span a distance of more than 150 meters with his 1000BaseT network. What network technology should he use to help with this?
Answer Options
A
Install a repeater, a switch, or a concentrator before 100 meters.
B
Use Category 7 cable, which has better shielding for higher speeds.
C
Install a gateway to handle the distance.
D
Use STP cable to handle the longer distance at high speeds.
Correct Answer: A
Explanation
A repeater, switch, or concentrator will amplify the signal, ensuring that the 100-meter distance limitation of 1000BaseT is not an issue. A gateway would be useful if network protocols were changing, while Cat7 cable is appropriate for a 10 Gbps network at much shorter distances. STP cable is limited to 155 Mbps and 100 meters, which would leave Alekos with network problems.
