Which of the following specifies when PoE technology can be used?
  1. To power an antenna that is less than 200 meters away from an access point
  2. To power an antenna that is more than 400 meters away from an access point
  3. To power an access point that is less than 100 meters away from a wiring closet
  4. To power an access point that is more than 500 meters away from a wiring closet
Explanation
Answer - C - PoE technology can be used to power an access point that is less than 100 meters away from a wiring closet.

Key Takeaway: Power over Ethernet is used for getting DC power to an access point from a power injector. Access points located further than 100 meters from a wiring closet cannot use PoE because the DC power is sent over the same cable as the data. This is because Cat5 cables can only extend to 100 meters.
