What are the advantages of using twisted-pair cabling over fiber on a network?

I believe it has the benefit of avoiding "cross talk" from the wires near each other, the twisted pair makes it less likely.
I think it also has the benefit of having two wires on one connection for more potential through-put?

Does ring topology uses 7-6-5 rule?
This rule does not apply to other network protocols or Ethernet networks where all fiber optic cabling or a combination of a fiber backbone with UTP cabling is used. If there is a combination of fiber optic backbone and UTP cabling, the rule is simply translated to a 7-6-5 rule.
A NIC which has a connector for an ST or SC is using what type of network media?
Fiber Optic Cabling Does not get affected by EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) but its expensive
What is a sonet?
A SONET is a type of network technology layer that is physical. It is used for transporting a lot of traffic over fiber optic cabling.
What are the 3 types of cables used in business and residential systems?
Fiber optic cabling, Category cabling, and coaxial cabling.
You want to implement a network medium that is not susceptible to EMI which type of cabling should you use?
Any shielded copper cable or fiber optic cable.
What is a cabled network?
a paki
What is the colour code for communications fiber cabling?
black
What is SONET synchronous optical networking?
SONET (Synchronous Optical Network) is a physical layer network technology designed to carry large volumes of traffic over relatively long distances on fiber optic cabling.
Which transmission media is LEAST susceptible to eavesdropping?
Fiber optic cablingAnswer Explanation: Unlike coaxial cabling, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cabling, and shielded twisted pair (STP) cabling, fiber optic cabling is not susceptible to eavesdropping. An eavesdropper would have to actually cut the line and tap into the fiber optic cable with a highly complex form of optical T-connector. This would interrupt the connection, which should immediately trigger an alarm.The "Unshielded twisted pair cabling" and "Shielded twisted pair cabling" options are incorrect. Twisted pair cabling is susceptible to eavesdropping because information is transmitted through the cable via electrical pulses, which emit small amounts of electromagnetic radiation. An eavesdropper could intercept communications with the proper equipment.The "Coaxial cabling" option is incorrect. Coaxial cabling is susceptible to eavesdropping because anyone can tap into it and add an unauthorized device. Since connections to the network cannot be controlled by a switch or hub, there is no way to prevent unauthorized connections. An intruder can tap into the network with either a basic T-connector or vampire tap.
What is one advantage of using fiber optic cabling rather than copper cabling?
Fiber optics carry vastly more information than ordinary cables, for a given thickness of cable.
What type of cables are immune to EMI and RFI?
Fiber-optic cabling
Which kind of cabling does FDDI use?
That is fiber optic cable, as FDDI stands for Fiber Distributed Data Interface
