A customer maintains a twisted pair network. The customer wishes to attain Fast Ethernet speeds, and wishes to take steps to prevent EMI as much as possible. Which cable type would you recommend?

A. Cat5 UTP

B. Cat5e UTP

C. Cat5 STP

D. SMF

Solution

C is correct. STP has a metal shield around the twisted pairs to mitigate against EMI.

A, B, and D are incorrect. A and B are incorrect because UTP has no protection against EMI. D is incorrect because SMF is a fiber, not a twisted pair, cable.
