Cabling
The main difference between the UTP and STP cabling is that the UTP cable takes
advantage of additional protective cover reducing signal interference from outside
sources.
Examples of copper cabling types used in Ethernet networks include: (Select all that

The shape and angle of the tip of a fiber-optic connector can have an impact on the
performance of a fiber-optic communication link. The two basic types of fiber end are
Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) and Angled Physical Contact (APC). In the UPC-type
connector, the connector end is polished with no angle, while APC connectors feature a
fiber end polished at an 8-degree angle. Besides additional labeling (UPC or APC) that
helps in identifying further details about a given connector type, fiber-optic connectors
can also have different colors. The rule of thumb is that a UPC-type connector typically
would be blue while APC connector would have a green color.
