Compare and contrast  cat. 6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP), coaxial, and single mode fiber  optic cabling types. Describe one or two of the advantages and/or  disadvantages associated with using each cable type for a business’s  network infrastructure.  Consider the (a) cost per foot or meter; (b)  termination/installation cost; (c) bandwidth; (d) cable  length/transmission distance; (e) end point devices (i.e., workstation,  wireless access point, switch, router, server, SAN, etc.); (f) use –  in-building horizontal or vertical; and (g) conversion or interface  equipment.  Be sure to support your information with the appropriate  citation(s).

The paper must use APA 6th ed., 7th printing formatting and contain a  title page, 3 to 5 pages of content, and a minimum of three  peer-reviewed references.
