Chapter 8 Case Study

What's the name of this kind of interference?

The name of this interference is called external interference.

Explain why it can slow down the network traffic?

It can slow down the network traffic because the cables is where all data are being sent through. With the extra cables added behind the walls the signaling interferes with the cables of the ACME server and switch. This interference or "noise" is the source of the external interference.

Would the result of the tests be any different if the networking cabling was running next to a just installed small alarm clock instead of an A/C unit? Why?

I think that installing a small alarm clock would most likely result in better results because compared to the A/C unit it takes more power and wiring. The alarm clock has its benefits over the A/C, like less interference since and as a result better flow in the network.
