Question

E. 10BaseFL uses fiber-optic cabling. Remember to watch the characters at the end of the architecture name to determine what the cable type is- "FL" is for fiber link. ख A, B, C, and D are incorrect. STP, thinnet, thicknet, and CAT 3 UTP are all cable types but are not used in 10BaseFL.

Key Concepts

Ethernet Architecture Naming Conventions

This concept involves the naming system used in Ethernet standards, where the name typically includes a speed rating, such as 10 for 10 Mbps, followed by 'Base' indicating baseband signaling, and ending with suffixes that specify the type of cabling used. In this context, the suffix 'FL' denotes that fiber-optic cabling is used in the network architecture.

Fiber-Optic Cabling

Fiber-optic cabling is a type of transmission medium that uses light to transmit data, offering high bandwidth and low signal degradation over long distances. It is distinct from other cabling types like twisted pair and coaxial cable, and its use is specifically indicated by designations such as 'FL' in Ethernet standards like 10BaseFL.
