Q: 5
A security professional is designing a CCTV system to monitor activity in an employee parking lot that is 2,200 feet from the monitoring station. Which type of cable will best transmit the signal?

Option B for sure. Fiber optic handles long distances like 2,200 feet with zero signal loss, unlike coax or twisted pair. Pretty sure that's what official materials say too but open if I missed something.
B tbh, fiber optic is the only one here that keeps signal quality over 2,200 feet. Coax and twisted pair just can't manage that distance without heavy loss. Makes sense if you want no interference too.
Probably B for this one. Fiber optic is basically the only type that doesn't lose signal at 2,200 feet. Coaxial and twisted pair just can't handle that distance from what I remember.
B that's what official exam guides say for CCTV at this distance. Practice test questions point the same way.
Hard to say, B. For distances like 2,200 feet fiber optic is what you see recommended in official guides and practice exams.
B , because only fiber optic handles 2,200 feet reliably here. If they asked for cost-effectiveness instead of "best transmit" I'd rethink it, but as written B is the right pick.
C/D? It's a toss-up for me if you consider cost, but for just best transmission over 2,200 feet, I think it has to be B. Pretty sure coax and twisted pair won't keep signal quality at that range.
A is wrong, B. Fiber optic is really the only option here since coax and twisted pair would both suffer too much attenuation at 2,200 feet. Unless the question wanted "cheapest workable" not "best," fiber's the right call. Someone correct me if I'm missing a weird edge case.
A not B, coaxial could do 2,200 feet with signal boosters or amplifiers. Seen old-school CCTV setups run on coax for long distances, just needs more equipment. Maybe I'm missing something but fiber seems overkill here.
B tbh, fiber optic’s the only one here that can carry video that far without signal loss. Coax and twisted pair max out much earlier. Saw a similar question pop up in exam reports too.
