Registered Communications Distribution Designer (RCDD-001) — Question 15

A tapped trunk topology uses ________ cabling to support a DAS.

Answer options

• A. Shielded twisted pair
• B. Balanced twisted pair
• C. Unbalanced twisted pair
• D. Optical fiber

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Optical fiber, as it provides the necessary bandwidth and distance capabilities required for a tapped trunk topology in a Distributed Antenna System (DAS). The other options, while useful in certain networking contexts, do not meet the specific needs for high-speed data transmission over longer distances that optical fiber can deliver.
