Jack is in the process of designing a cost-effective corporate network. The network should satisfy the minimum requirements of 75 hosts in the segment, maximum distance of 150 meters in the segment, and a 10 Mbps transfer rate. Which of the following standards should he use?
  1. 10Base2
  2. 10BaseFL
  3. 100BaseTX
  4. 10Base5
Explanation
Answer: D - To implement a network with a maximum throughput of 10 Mbps and a maximum distance of 150 meters with 75 hosts per segment, Jack should use a 10Base5 network.

Key Takeaway: 100BaseFL and 100BaseTX networks work at 100 Mbps. If the network design intends a maximum speed of 10 Mbps, 100Base networks need not be used. Between the 10Base2 and 10Base5 networks, 10Base2 supports only 30 hosts. Hence, use 10 Base5 cabling in this scenario.
