(T/F): Industrial applications often use fiber-optics for its noise immunity rather than distance and bandwidth advantages. - Answer True Electrical noise is often a problem in industrial applications, and fiber's immunity is most important. (T/F): All metal components of the cabling system installed in an equipment or telecom room must be grounded and bonded. - Answer True For electrical safety, all conductive parts of the system, including hardware, must be properly grounded ...
