Solution
The two factors that may interfere with the copper cabling and result in signal distortion and data corruption are:
A. RFI (Radio Frequency Interference): This is a type of electromagnetic interference (EMI) that is caused by radio frequency waves. In this case, the fluorescent lights and electrical equipment could be emitting these waves, which can interfere with the data signals in the Ethernet cable.
C. EMI (Electromagnetic Interference): This is a disturbance that affects an electrical circuit due to either electromagnetic induction or electromagnetic radiation emitted from an external source. The disturbance may interrupt, obstruct, or otherwise degrade or limit the effective performance of the circuit. In this case, the electrical equipment could be the source of the EMI.
