You are to implement a network cabling for your organization's network. The location of the cables have devices that generate an Electro-Magnetic energy, which may interfere with media transmission. To eliminate this problem, which cable that is capable of modulated light transmission and resistant to EMI should you consider using?
Shielded Twisted-Pair cables
Coaxial cables
Unshielded Twisted-Pair cables
10 Gigabit UTP cable
Fiber-optic cables
A Fiber-optic cable is a networking medium capable of transmitting data through light, with a higher bandwidth and can span a longer distance than Copper cables or Coaxial cables. This type of cable is not susceptible to EMI or Electromagnetic Interference. Coaxial cables support from 10 to 100Mbps and can reach from 100 up to 500 meters. Thinnet version of this cable is susceptible to EMI, that's why the Thicknet version is mostly used. Copper cables such as Unshielded Twisted-Pair and Screened/Shielded Twisted-Pair are not susceptible to EMI, but instead of using light to transfer data, they use twisted-pair of copper wires, hence the name.
