MANs are almost exclusively ____ networks,and thus capable of supporting data rates into the tens of millions and hundreds of millions of bits per second.
A) fiber-optic
B) copper-wired
C) twisted-paired
D) coaxial-cabled

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

MANs (Metropolitan Area Networks) are designed to cover a larger area than Local Area Networks (LANs), usually spanning a city or a campus. MANs require high-speed data transfer, which is facilitated by fiber-optic networks. Copper-wired, twisted-paired and coaxial-cabled networks do not offer the same level of data transfer speeds as fiber-optic networks. Therefore, fiber-optic is the best choice for MANs.
