Half-duplex communication means a station can transmit and receive data but not at the same time,much like a two-way radio.Full-duplex mode,by definition,means a NIC can transmit and receive simultaneously.Therefore,when an Ethernet NIC is operating in full-duplex mode connected to a switch,CSMA/CD isn't used because a collision can't occur in full-duplex mode.Because fullduplex mode eliminates the delays caused by CSMA/CD and allows double the network bandwidth,most Ethernet LANs now operate in this mode using switches.

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of Unshielded Twisted Pair cabling?
