CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 418

A technician wants to physically connect two office buildings' networks. The office buildings are located 600ft (183m) apart. Which of the following cable types is the BEST choice?

Answer options

• A. Cat 5e
• B. Cat 6a
• C. Multimode
• D. Coaxial

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The best option for connecting networks over a distance of 600 feet is multimode fiber, as it can handle longer distances and higher bandwidths without significant signal loss. Cat 5e and Cat 6a are limited in distance for optimal performance, while coaxial is not typically used for network connections between buildings.
