Question 27

What are two advantages of using fiber-optic cabling instead of UTP? (Choose two.)

  1. lower cost
  2. easier to install
  3. allows longer distances
  4. less effected by external signals
  5. easier to terminate the cable ends
Answer

allows longer distances
less effected by external signals

Reason — Optical fiber is immune to electrical and magnetic interference because the information is travelling on a modulated light beam. Hence, they allow long distance data transmission.
