A transmission line must be supported for several metres by attaching it to a metal fence. What type of transmission line will NOT be adversely affected by proximity to the fence?

  1. AOpen-wire line
  2. BWindow line
  3. CCoaxial cable
  4. DTwin-lead

Correct answer: C — Coaxial cable. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.

Why

Coaxial cable works best here because its outer metal shield acts like a protective cage, keeping the radio signal inside and stopping it from interacting with nearby metal objects like a fence. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
