Q: The Cat6 cable is part of the ______ layer.
or
Q: The ___ layer contains the Cat6 cable.
- Transport
- Application
- Physical
- Network
Explanation: Within the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) paradigm, the Cat6 cable is considered to be a component of the Physical layer. During the transmission and receiving of raw data between devices, the Physical layer is the one accountable for this task. It is possible to physically link devices inside a network with the help of the Cat6 cable, which enables the transmission of data signals between the devices. It is the responsibility of the Physical layer to ensure that data is successfully conveyed throughout the network infrastructure. This layer is responsible for dealing with the electrical and mechanical properties of the transmission medium.
