A network administrator needs to set up a single-mode fiber optic connection that will connect two buildings located quite a distance apart. The connection must be capable of handling data transmission with minimal signal loss over this long range. Which of the following characteristics is MOST important to ensure the successful implementation of this configuration?
The utilization of a small core to allow for longer distance transmission
The adoption of a reflective cladding to enhance signal strength
Ensuring the inclusion of an inline booster to support multi-frequency transmission
Selection of a fiber with a large core to support higher data rates
