Hi,
I am preparing for CompTIA A+ 1001 & 1002 exam, and I have a lot of questions, as the answers from kaplanlearn platform that ITProTV recommends aren't entirely clear to me.
Could someone from ITProTV answer those questions for me comprehensively, please? I think these answers will help many students, not just me.

What is the transmission distance supported by multi-mode fibre optic cable, A: 3000 feet (914 m)
Well, it really depends on what gbit/s we want to achieve. If we want to transfer at 10 Gbit/s, then the distance is 550m. The distance decreases the overall speed of MMF, but it isn’t limited to 3000 feet. Why the answer is 3000 feet? It is probably for 1 Gbits/s, but it isn’t stated in the question. -
