What is the primary function of twisted-pair cabling?

• Preventing signal degradation

• Preventing cross-talk

• Supporting wireless transmission

• Supporting only older networks

What distinguishes shielded twisted-pair (STP) from unshielded twisted-pair (UTP)?

• STP is more cost-effective

• STP uses a metallic shield for each wire pair

• STP supports only low-speed data

• STP is less resistant to noise

What is the main advantage of fiber-optic cables?

• Low installation cost

• Ability to transmit modulated light for high-speed data

• Compatibility with older networks

• No need for specialized equipment
