All of the following factors affect the transmitted signal quality of fiber optic communications except __________.
A) bending
B) cross- talk
C) absorption
D) attenuation

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cross-talk is more relevant to electrical signal transmission in conductive cables, where electromagnetic interference between adjacent wires can occur. In fiber optic communications, the primary factors affecting signal quality include bending, absorption, and attenuation, but not cross-talk, as the light signals are contained within the optical fibers and do not interfere with each other in the same way electrical signals can.
