Title: Compare signal transmission capabilities of coaxial cable, CAT-5 cable, and fiber cabling.
Course: Telecommunications II (10006-II) > Section: Practicing Cabling and Splicing

Comparison should include

- type of signal (voltage, modulated radio frequency, digital modulation, light pulses)
- signal propagation distance limitations
- signal attenuation
- crosstalk
- structured cable certification test
- certification standards.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What are the factors that determine length limits for cables?
- What is the cause of signal attenuation on cables?
- What is the purpose of each of the tests performed in the cable certification process?
