On modern networks, the transceiver are separate from the NICs.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: B

AI Explanation

To answer this question, we need to understand the function of transceivers and NICs (Network Interface Cards).

A transceiver is a device that combines a transmitter and a receiver in a single module. It converts the electrical signals from a network device into optical signals for transmission over fiber optic cables or into electrical signals for transmission over copper cables. It also converts received optical or electrical signals back into electrical signals that can be understood by the network device.

A NIC, on the other hand, is a hardware component that connects a computer or other network device to a network. It provides the physical interface between the computer and the network, allowing the computer to send and receive data over the network.

In modern networks, it is common for the transceiver to be integrated into the NIC. This means that the transceiver and the NIC are combined into a single module, often referred to as a "transceiver module" or "transceiver card." This integration helps simplify the design and installation of network equipment.

Therefore, the statement "On modern networks, the transceivers are separate from the NICs" is incorrect. The correct answer is B) False.
