RCDD-001 Exam - Question 40


In reviewing your client's network needs for today and 5 years into the future, you note their current specs call for a 1Gb/s network within a campus environment, with little or no possibility of any increased bandwidth demands until they move to their planned future site. The building is not large, and the cable lengths will not exceed 550 m (1804 ft). Your recommendation for the fiber to be installed in the backbone is:

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B,C

Given the requirement for a 1Gb/s network within a campus environment and considering the cable lengths will not exceed 550 meters, OM3 fiber is the best choice. OM3 fiber supports 10Gb/s at distances up to 300 meters and can support 1Gb/s beyond that, making it suitable for future-proofing against any unforeseen bandwidth demands. OM1 and OM2 are older types of multimode fibers with lower bandwidth capabilities and are less suitable for new installations. OM3 fiber is designed for high-speed networks and offers better performance over greater distances than OM1 and OM2, making it the most appropriate choice.
