Free CompTIA Network+ N10-008 Practice Question
A network technician is diagnosing a signal strength problem in a newly installed CAT6 cable run. The technician uses a cable tester to measure the signal strength and notices a higher-than-expected dB loss likely affecting the network performance. Which of the following is the most likely cause of this excessive dB loss?
The cable run is adjacent to heating ducts, causing fluctuations in temperature.
The termination of the cable connectors does not follow the T568A or T568B standard.
Different types of cables were mixed in the same run, such as CAT5 and CAT6.
The cable run exceeds the recommended maximum distance for CAT6 cables, leading to significant signal attenuation.
