• Fiber-optic: Fastest option, uses light signals through optical fibers, ideal for high-speed and large data
transfers.
4. Compare cabled network with wireless networks.

SOL:
Cabled (Wired): Uses physical cables (Ethernet) for stable, high-speed connections. Ideal for large
networks and minimal interference.
Wireless: Relies on Wi-Fi or mobile signals for more flexibility but can suffer from signal interference
and slower speeds compared to wired.
