Question 100
A network team observes: A short server-room fiber link uses long-reach single-mode optics against multimode cabling and cannot establish a link. What is the MOST appropriate corrective action or technical decision?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Both endpoints must agree on supported optics and media. The installed optic type is incompatible with the fiber.
Incorrect Answers
Selecting supported twinax direct-attach copper with matching transceiver ends would not match multimode-rated transceivers and fibers at both endpoints.
Replacing the patch cord with a properly keyed LC-to-LC cable for these ports would not match multimode-rated transceivers and fibers at both endpoints.
Using a manufacturer-supported QSFP module and matching link endpoints would not match multimode-rated transceivers and fibers at both endpoints.
