 A switch is a device that operates at the data link layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model. It is responsible for forwarding frames based on the MAC addresses of the source and destination devices. A switch can also perform media access control, VLAN tagging, QoS, and other Layer 2 functions. A router, on the other hand, operates at the network layer (Layer 3) and routes packets based on their IP addresses. A transceiver is a device that converts electrical signals to optical signals and vice versa, and operates at the physical layer (Layer 1). A UTP cable is a type of twisted pair cable that is also used at the physical layer to transmit data. References: Data link layer - Wikipedia, Data Link Layer | Layer 2 | The OSI-Model, What is Layer 2? - Definition from Techopedia, An Overview of Layer 2 Ethernet – What is it and why does it matter?

 The 5 GHz band is a radio frequency band used for Wi-Fi communications. It has a higherdata bandwidth than the 2.4 GHz band, but a shorter range and less penetration through walls. The 5 GHz band is divided into several sub-bands, each with a different set of channels. One of these sub-bands is the U-NII-3 band, which covers the frequency range from 5725 MHz to 5850 MHz. This sub-band contains 24 non-overlapping channels, numbered from 149 to 172. Channels 149 to 161 are part of the 5 GHz band and can be used for Wi-Fi communications. Channels 165 and 169 are restricted to indoor use only, and channel 173 is not allowed in some regions. Channels 12, 13, and 14 are not part of the 5 GHz band, but belong to the 2.4 GHz band, which has a different set of channels and regulations. U-NII-5 is not a valid sub-band name, but a proposed extension of the 5 GHz band to include the frequency range from 5925 MHz to 7125 MHz. This extension is not yet approved or implemented, and therefore not part of the 5 GHz band. References: List of WLAN channels, What’s the Difference Between 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi (and Which Should I Use)?, What is the difference between 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz wireless frequencies?

A collision occurs when two or more devices try to transmit data at the same time on a shared medium, such as a bus or a hub. Collisions degrade network performance and cause data loss. Switches mitigate collisions by creating separate collision domains for each port. This means that each port can transmit and receive data without interfering with other ports. Switches also use full-duplex communication, which allows simultaneous transmission and reception of data on each port, further reducing the chances of collisions. VLANs and L3 protocols do not affect collisions, as they operate at different layers of the network model. Proprietary features are not a general characteristic of switches, and may not be compatible with other vendors’ switches. References: Aruba Certified Network Technician (ACNT) | HPE Aruba Networking, Aruba Documentation Portal
