Export

A network technician added a new workstation to the network and needs to make a custom, shielded cable that is 492ft (150m) with both ends wired to TIA/EIA-568A standards. The workstation is not establishing a link to the switchport. Which of the following is the cause of the issue?

A.
Cable shielding
Answers

Cable shielding
B.

Attenuation
C.
Incorrect pinout
Answers
C.
Incorrect pinout
D.
Near-end crosstalk
Answers
D.
Near-end crosstalk
Suggested answer: B

Explanation:

Attenuation, or the loss of signal strength over distance, is likely the cause of the issue with the 492ft (150m) cable not establishing a link to the switchport. Ethernet standards typically limit the length of copper Ethernet cables to approximately 328ft (100m) for standard performance. Exceeding this distance, as in the case of the 492ft cable, often results in insufficient signal strength to maintain a reliable connection. Options such as cable shielding, incorrect pinout, or near-end crosstalk do not directly relate to the problem described by the excessive cable length.
