Which type of cabling is best suited for transmitting data over the longest distances in a network due to its low signal attenuation and high bandwidth capacity?
Single-mode fiber
Coaxial cable
Copper twisted pair cable
Multimode fiber
Single-mode fiber is ideal for long-distance data transmission because it uses a single light path, minimizing signal attenuation and allowing for higher bandwidth over extended distances. Multimode fiber, while also a fiber optic medium, experiences modal dispersion, which limits its effective transmission distance. Copper cables, such as twisted pair and coaxial, are prone to higher attenuation and electromagnetic interference, making them less suitable for long-distance applications.
