Please write a research paper that

1. Compare and contrast cat. 6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP), coaxial, and single mode fiber optic cabling types.

2. Describe two to three of the advantages and/or disadvantages associated with using each cable type for a business's network infrastructure.

Consider the

(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.
