A company recently added an addition to their office building. A technician runs new plenum
network cables from the switch on one side of the company’s gymnasium 80 meters (262 ft.) to the
new offices on the other side, draping the wires across the light fixtures. Users working out of the
new offices in the addition complain of intermittent network connectivity. Which of the following is
MOST likely the cause of the connectivity issue?
A.
dB loss
B.
Distance
C.
Incorrect connector type
D.
EMI
E.
Crosstalk
The light fixture as well as the metal would cause interference and bounce.
