P Flag question

a$.$ Noise immunity $-$ Because fiber does not conduct electrical current to transmit signals, it

is unaffected by EMI $($Electromagnetic Interference$).$

b$.$ Connector $-$ With fiber cabling, you can use any of two different types of connectors

including $RJ-45$ and $RJ-11.$

c$.$ Size and scalability $-$ Depending on the type of fiber$-$optic cable used, segment lengths

vary from $2$ to $40,000$ meters.

d$.$ Cost $-$ Fiber$-$optic cable is the most expensive transmission medium. Because of its cost,

most organizations find it impractical to run fiber to every desktop.

e$.$ Throughput $-$ Fiber has proved reliable in transmitting data at rates that reach $100$

gigabits $($or $100,000$ megabits$)$ per second per channel.
