Which type of network media is least subject to eavesdropping?
1. Shielded twisted pair
2. >>Fiber optic
3. Coaxial
4. 802.11g
Explanation : Fiber optic networks are least prone to eavesdropping because the signal is carried though light pulses instead of by electromagnetic signal. This makes it extremely difficult to tap the wire.
802.11g wireless networks are extremely subject to eavesdropping if encryption is not used.
Coaxial is a copper wire cable. Transmission is through electromagnetic signals, so it is relatively easy to tap the wire and eavesdrop.
Shielded twisted pair is a copper wire cable. Transmission is through electromagnetic signals, so it is relatively easy to tap the wire and eavesdrop.
