Which of the following is designed to be used in commercial spaces?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Plenum cabling is designed for use in commercial spaces where cables run through air ducts or plenum spaces, as it has fire-resistant properties and emits less toxic smoke.

Why Not A (USB 3.1 Gen 2): USB is for peripheral connections, not large-scale commercial installations.

Why Not B (Straight tip fiber connector): Fiber connectors are for high-speed connections but are not specifically for commercial spaces.

Why Not D (Cat 8): While Cat 8 is high-speed, it is not uniquely suited for commercial spaces like plenum cabling.

CompTIA A+ Exam Reference: Core 1 (220-1201), Section 3.1, cabling standards.

Cat 8 is the latest Ethernet standard, so that seems like a good option for commercial use. But I'm not sure if it's the only one designed for that purpose.

USB 3.1 Gen 2 is a high-speed data transfer standard, but I don't think it's specifically designed for commercial spaces. Plenum cabling, on the other hand, is often used in commercial buildings due to its fire-resistant properties.
