Question

A(n) _____ divides one high-speed communication circuit into several lower speed circuits for the primary reason of saving communication line costs. Group of answer choices

Answer 1

A multiplexer divides one high-speed communication circuit into several lower speed circuits for the primary reason of saving communication line costs.

Explanation:

• The operation carried out using a single high-speed communication circuit costs way more than the operation carried out using multiple lower speed circuits.
• The multiplexer enables the breaking of the circuit efficiently in order to split the signals to travel through multiple lower speed circuits.
• Though the use of a multiplexer reduces the efficiency of the operation, it also helps in cutting the operation costs substantially.
