Cabling Security Quiz

Cabling security primarily aims to:

• Improve speed

• Prevent unauthorized access and data interception

• Reduce cable cost

• Increase cable length

Physical network security includes:

• Encryption

• Firewalls

• Protecting cables and hardware

• Software updates

An exposed network cable is a security risk because it can:

• Increase bandwidth

• Be tapped for data interception

• Improve signal strength

• Reduce latency

Cable tapping refers to:

• Installing cables

• Unauthorized interception of signals

• Cleaning cables

• Replacing cables

The most secure transmission medium is:

• UTP

• Coaxial

• Fiber optic

• Telephone wire

Fiber optic cables are more secure because:

• They are cheaper

• They emit signals that are easy to detect

• They do not radiate electromagnetic signals

• They are thicker

Copper cables are vulnerable to:

• Light leakage

• Electromagnetic interception

• Total internal reflection

• Optical dispersion

Signal leakage in copper cables can lead to:

• Data encryption

• Data theft

• Increased speed

• Reduced attenuation

Fiber tapping is difficult because:

• Fiber is expensive

• It requires specialized equipment and causes signal loss

• It is invisible

• It uses electricity

Which cable is most resistant to eavesdropping?

• UTP

• STP

• Coaxial

• Fiber optic
