CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 663

A company occupies the third floor of a leased building that has other tenants. The path from the demarcation point to the company's controlled space runs through unsecured areas managed by other companies. Which of the following could be used to protect the company's cabling as it passes through uncontrolled spaces?

Answer options

• A. Plenum-rated cables
• B. Cable locks
• C. Conduits
• D. Bayonet Neill-Concelman

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Conduits are effective for protecting cabling in unsecured areas because they provide a physical barrier against tampering and environmental hazards. Plenum-rated cables are designed for airflow spaces and do not offer physical protection. Cable locks may secure equipment but do not protect cabling in unsecured spaces. Bayonet Neill-Concelman is a type of connector and does not provide any protective function for cabling.
