  1. Question 1

    Q1. A cable has a bandwidth of 6000 Hz and uses 8 signal levels. What is the maximum data rate?

    • A) 36000 bps
    • B) 24000 bps
    • C) 48000 bps
    • D) 12000 bps

    Answer: 36000 bps

    Explanation: Using Nyquist formula: Data Rate = 2 * Bandwidth * log2(L), Data Rate = 2 * 6000 * log2(8) = 2 * 6000 * 3 = 36000 bps.
