An AP uses a 98ft (30m) Cat 6 cable to connect to an access switch. The cable is wired through a duct close to a three-phase motor installation. Anytime the three-phase is turned on, all users connected to the switch experience high latency on the network. Which Of the following is MOST likely the cause Of the issue?
Correct Answer: A
Explanation
Interference is a phenomenon that occurs when unwanted signals or noise affect the transmission or reception of data signals on a network. Interference can cause network issues such as high latency, low throughput, packet loss, or errors. Interference can be caused by various sources, such as electromagnetic fields, radio waves, power lines, or electrical devices. In this scenario, the three-phase motor installation is a source of interference that affects the Cat 6 cable that connects the AP to the access switch. The cable is wired through a duct close to the motor installation, which exposes it to the electromagnetic fields generated by the motor.
Anytime the motor is turned on, the interference causes high latency for all users connected to the switch.
