a) What's the name of this kind of interface?
- The name for this kind of interface is called cross-talk-interface
b)Explain why it can slow down the network traffic.
-The reason why it can slow down the traffic is because, the number of packets being sent at a time decreases the service of sending and receiving packets. The network was also using CAT-5 UTP which doesn't have shielded protection, which means it is subjected to external interfaces which may cause corruption with in the traffic.
c)Would the result of the test be any different if the networking cable was running next to a just installed small alarm clock instead of an A/C unit? Why?
-Yes, because an alarm clock doesn't use a lot of noise frequency and isn't being used for the majority of the time. The A/C however, is on for the most part and it uses a lot of power to generate sound frequencies, these sound frequencies are subjected to interrupt internal traffic within the CAT-5 UTP cable.
